Bram Stoker's Dracula
Williams, 1993Hello pinsiders,
I need some help if possible, ive finished a complete restoration of a Dracula, im going to upload photos of the progress later, but for now i have one mistake, going up the Left Ramp , the diverter is always down the ball dont goes around it, goes always towards Castle lock...
Any ideia!?
PS: In the photo is up because ive put it by hand
Regards
Your picture shows the diverter in the up position. Does it go down every time when the ball goes up the left ramp?
Is always down, ive put it up by hand, but normally is always down, dont go up... Starts and keeps always down, only gets up if i put it by hand, stays like until i archive the first castle lock, then goes down and remains like that...
It should be up on default and pulled down by the coil for a few seconds (when ball enters ramp, opto triggers diverter in specific mode).
Supsect there is indeed a spring that should hold up the post.
The problem is that the diverter is always down...any tests that i can make? thanks for the help so far
So what you are telling me is that the diverter should be always up, there is no mecanism that is pulling that thing up, so could be mounted incorrectly?! Is that!?
Ok is fixed, you guys are great, some rubber was on the way and stopping the diverter to go up..
Now i have another issue, the skill shot dont work, the ball hits it, but nothing happens... Any ideas?
Best regards
Quoted from indypinhead:Check to see if your ball lane roll-over switches are working in switch test mode.
To check the skill shot?
Quoted from RGAires:Now i have another issue, the skill shot dont work, the ball hits it, but nothing happens... Any ideas?
Check the switch at the bottom of the drop target assembly. The drop target has a tab that pushes down the metal actuator of the switch.
My drop target micro switch had a quick connect that was not staying in place. It would work for a while and then shift. Had to crimp it a bit tighter and fine so far. If the switch is not registering during test it will not work for your skill shot.
