I have added another Gottlieb into my collection, Haunted House. Love the machine - however having a few intermidate issues. Sometimes when the ball goes into the bottom playfield, the game will error and state Coil 8 - Error 2. Not sure which coil is coil 8 - so not sure which to look at to fix it up. When i do a coil test - no 8 comes up. When the game errors, i will sometimes reset it and the game will play ok - but with no sound. i tend to be able to reset it and eventually everything works without fault, with sound.

The game also doesnt appear to go into attract mode. Not that familar with the game as this is the first one i had ever seen - but was under the impression that it would have an attract mode where the backglass flashed to make it look like lighting was striking and the ravens eyes blink. Pretty sure there was also sound that went off in the attract mode The game has a Janin board in it & noticed that a small connector coming off the backglass door that is not connected to anything - is a 4 pin connecter with only 2 wires going into it - has a sticker on it that says "1A11-J1"

Cannot for the life of me see where it would plug in! only a small cable on it & would barely reach the board. Not sure if this is the reason why the attract mode does not work.

Last issue is when i get a high score - its not letting me put my initials in - comes up to do so, but will not let me change letters or add more letter - so all HS's save as "A". After i get the high score, it wont let me start a new game either. Press the start button and the PF lights blink 2-3 times but no game starts. very odd and can happen without warning as well, pretty sure even if a HS has not been hit. Again, reset it and it tends to disappear - however very annoying and something i would prefer fixed

Other than that - love the game, what a total classic. Perhaps the scariest game i have ever seen under the hood though - cripes i hope it doesnt give me too much grief as its got so much going on in there!

Wait what? HH doesn't have initials...it just displays the last highest score...Is that a version thing with the aftermarket board?

#3 5 years ago

could well be - it definitely has a A there like it allow me to put in more. The initals things does not bother me so much - its more that i cant start another game afterwards

will go check it now actually to see if it shows the HS with the A

Ok just checked it - and it definitely displays with an A on the high score - dare say its a Pascal Janin board feature. The issue with a game not starting is definitely happening without the high score thing as well - but it seems to right itself if i just go through and enter the ingame menu and exit back out - so as far as problems go, not the biggest and pretty easy work around.

Also figured out that coil 8 is the knocker as didnt realise there were 2 coil test. checked coil and connections seem fine, will buy a new coil and replace it to see if that sorts that out.

Really would love to get the attact mode working - the backglass looks amazing when its all up and running with the flashes etc - one of the most memorable features of the game.

Are you running original boards?

Its running off a Janin board and the sound board looks to be an original Gottlieb. The other 2 boards dont appear to have Gottlieb written anywhere

Yep, all your other boards are original: power supply top right, sound board bottom left and the small sound power supply top left.
Maybe have a look through the manual for your CPU available here:
https://www.flippp.fr/support.php

I'm not sure why you still have the original power supply as from a quick look on that website it says that the Pascal board replaces the CPU board, the power supply and the driver board. However, I've never used a Pascal board myself.

Isn't there a feature to turn the attract mode on/off on the Janin board? you should definately check the manual...same with the highscore. On his Sys1 replacement boards you can enter your initials while pressing the start button to change the letters. then release the button and press it shortly again to confirm your letter.

Ok, so after doing some research it appears their should be a lighting Aux board on the back of the backglass door that controls the lightning effect but my machine does not have this .
