Check to make sure the wire loom behind it isn't making it stick

I would love for someone from JJP to tell me how to read that f'ing starmap.

I occasionally stare at it, and don't notice any recognizable patterns. Maybe I need to "lazy eye" it like those 3d posters. haha.

My yellow lockdown handle is so tight, I have to use two hands to move it.

Sweet. Man, they had them cranked down from the factory.

Will need pics of fish tank.

I don't even notice it. (The topper nor the flickering)

Nor do i.

My BP VUK wouldn't get the ball up on stock settings. I had to turn it up, but can't remember what I turned it up to. I'll have to check and maybe dial it back if needed.

My spotlight above Tortuga Tom always goes out. I've tried several bulbs. Any tricks for this?

Aren't they the standard 555 6.3vac bulbs?

Oh. My stock one kept going on/off. It would come on if I put pressure on it, so I went to pull it out to try and modify it..and I broke it.

Edit. Just pulled a bulb from the coin slot and used that. All good.

Catapult mod?

My stock factory balls are still working fine.

Huh. I'm just using the balls the game came with. No issues in the last 7 months.

Posted in the owners thread but should probably have posted here.
My audio keeps going out. Any idea of which specific cables to look at possible loose connections?

Plug seems good. Should I take the silver box cover off and see where that other end of the cable plugs in?

*If the game is sitting idle waiting for ball launch, the sound is fine. It's only until ball is in play and hitting things that the audio blips out.

All is connected well on that cable. Restated the connections.
No dice.

Huh. So it didn't work if you unplugged it by the coin door?
I'll give it a try tomorrow. Too many beers tonight.

Unplugged the headphone cable. Issue is still there.

Tried bypassing ground loop and had no audio.

I pulled the blue/black wire out of the headphone jack like the video and same issue.

edit. I think it's just a bad ground loop iso. Talked with Barry @ JJP. Hooked up my phone to the game w/out the g loop and listened to a GD concert while having lunch. All seemed fine.

Just put on new audio cable and ground loop. Audio still going in and out. Board issue?

Just played 2 games with no sound problems. I slid the playfield out a little and must have jostled something. No idea what but seems ok for now.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Is there an adjustment for the tortuga coil power? I don't see it in the menu.
Mine started firing the ball sdtm and I want to adjust it a bit.
Lit xball at the scoop then it fired sdtm...on last ball. Grrr

Yeah, I think I saw that. I'll check it out. Thanks.
