I have a 1977 Bally Bobby Orr's power play I've been fixing up for awhile. One issue I have never been able to figure out is the occasional sonlenoid switch up. It only seems to occur after leaving my pinball machine on for more than 30 minutes, whether I'm playing it or not. When I happens, the pop bumpers will fire instead of the bells for the startup sound, and the post will reset when the ball should be fired into the game. However, the issue fixes itself after a bit of patience, and seems to go away. One time I left the game on for awhile it started running slow, as if it was lagging, something I've never seen before (and has not happened since). Any ideas?

Recapping my power supply? Could you elaborate on that? Sorry I'm a bit it a pinball newbie, but I'm trying to learn

Quoted from zacaj:

There are a few big cylindrical capacitors on the solenoid board, they have a life of about 20 years. If your board is still original, they can cause trouble.

I've replaced one of the two large capacitors on the solenoid driver, I'll definitely replace the other soon

For c26 I will order a 160uF 350V capacitor. I already replaced c23, but what capacitor should I get for c24? I have solenoid driver AS-2518-22

Quoted from thirdedition:

What part of Cincinnati are you in? I have a crimper and pins. If you can't get it going I'd be willing to help out.

I'm in Clifton Heights, right outside of UC. I actually am in need of some pins. I would be willing to purchase some pins off of you if you're willing to sell them! As for a crimper, I already have one!
