Hello there,

I just got my first 3 machines and an issue came up with the Kick Off machine. The Pop bumpers were working correctly until one the fuses blew. Ever since they are unresponsive. When you push down the skirt contact is made below the playfield but nothing else happens. If I pull down the body it will ring the bell and award the proper amount of points. Any advice or direction would be appreciated. Thank you!

Cheers

Thanks for the response @fredsmythson! I am new into fixing machines but am enthusiastic about learning the craft. Like any new endeavour, my first task seems to be googling the lingo. I have tried my best to Google my way through your answer and this is what I believe I have found.

1. There does seem to be a diode between the wire lug (Photos of bumpers 1-3 attached)
2. The 5amp fuse was blown. I replaced it but still no movement on the bumpers
3. I believe I have attached a picture of the bridge rectifier. It seems to be intact as well.

The problem is the pop being activated. I can manually make the scoring switch fire correctly.

Any further guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the help everyone! We were able to solve the issue over the weekend after using all of your advice. After measuring the resistance on all of the diodes there was a significant difference on one of them. After we soldered a new one on it worked like a charm. Thanks again for all the help!
