Hello! I’ve just joined the club, and I’m trying to figure out a couple gremlins in my machine. Wondering if you fine folks might be able to help!

1) my 1k bonus light (near the flippers) is always on, whether it be in attract mode or in game (so is the Star rollover for the EB, and it seems the 10x insert by the 1-2-3 drop bank)

2) my left flipper doesn’t get the ball all the way around the S curve to the bonus collect saucer but on the rarest occasion; 9/10 times it’ll get it close, to about the top left bumper, but fall into the bumper instead

3) the right slingshot coil wasn’t firing, and I found there was a red wire disconnected from one of the two lugs on the coil. I resoldered it to the lug, but then when I turn the game on and go into coil test, the coil a) doesn’t fire, and b) smokes! Pics are below of the coil; maybe the coil itself is bad? Doesn’t seem to be wired incorrectly or anything, but I’m relatively new to this, so here I am

4) I’ve noticed the GI flickers when I press the flipper buttons

5) at least during display test, the GI flickers with each display change

This is an awesome game, and I’m excited to have it and get these few problems resolved so that it sings! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Quoted from GoldenOreos:

the transistor is bad for that sling shot and if the light is stuck on at all times that scr is bad on lamp board. not being able to make the orbit is a known issue on Vikings so either put a stronger coil in or get bonus collect off of pops into saucer

Awesome, thank you for the insight and tips! I’ll do some testing, get some parts ordered and replaced, and report back
