Feeling very accomplished now, successfully removed and put back on the black pearl. Actually was not that bad! But got all new rubbers, and the cliffy installed on the map hole, so all good. Everything works great now, except seems to be a little intermittent gremlin. Not sure if it is coming from the surgery I just did or something new, but every now and then, a new player will be added without me touching the start button.
I went into the switch test mode and clicked all the switches and none of them activated the start button switch. I had an Indiana Jones issue were a diode above the mode hole was bent over (from the ball banging into it), touching another wire shorting, and every time I go over the right outlane switch it would add a player (activate the start button switch, which I could see I’m the switch test). In this case, couldn’t hit any switch manually that would cause the start button switch to activate. The very last time it happened, I was at the end of the first ball and hitting both flippers trying to speed through to get my next ball in the shooter lane. The only switches I was unable to test manually where the trough switches. Not sure how to test those, maybe drop a ball in one at a time on the switch test?
The last game I played it didn’t happen so just wanted to reach out and see if anybody had anything similar to this? I haven’t really looked at the manual start button switch in the door, maybe something bent there or is touching it. Really just wanted to see if anybody has seen anything like this and if so might save me some time.
Thanks!
