Wife picked this game up for me for a gift. Played it for roughly 20 games - it's great! Game play keeps you interesting, and the multi-ball stage isn't easy.

Unfortunately, the out-hole solenoid locked on after those few games. Hoping the seller will hold up to his end of the deal and "make it right". If not, I'll be replacing boards and going through it in entirety.

I would normally agree with you on this - except the machine was bought from a reputable dealer. I.E. not a hobbyist.

The machine had this problem originally, and it was "fixed" along with some other stuff (new play field which looks great, new rubbers, etc). Hoping all that needs to be done is a transistor on the driver board, but after pulling the board out there are some not-so-stellar repairs on it.

If they don't cover it, I'm more than capable of fixing it. The wife bought this with the intention of it being a single thing that I have fun with, but unfortunately I think it's the start of a slippery slope. LED upgrade is already planned one it's back up and running...

Well...Monday I dropped the main CPU board off with them and they "fixed it." Could not get specifics. So Friday night I spent some time going through and making sure all the fuses were good, none of the coils were shorted, and installed the board.

Flip the power switch on and "click"....outhole coil locks on again.

So my question now is this - where's the best place to make a long winded post about this game? I have some questions about various things after I've played with it for a few hours now. Fairly sure I've got a bad transistor as coil enable pin is shorted to ground, but my display's all messed up and I can't get it to go into diag mode.

Welcome warrior, energizing, Fire and return to blue/red/yellow, return to base, laser war, explosion, last ball good luck, and shoot the ion cannon...plus laughing. I think that covers the sound call-outs.
