I got a great deal today, I got a call about a Mars: God of War machine, $300 (the owner wanted it to go to someone who could and had some experience repairing pins, and was willing to keep it working). I played a game there and everything played great, all lights worked, flippers great, saucers great, drop targets work, multiball, and the playfield has mylar (that will need taken off at some point) Both backglass, the tube, etc everything there. They also, just had it serviced about 9 months ago, I saw new caps and new rectifiers were installed, as well as some caps for the sound were installed.
I have brought some Bally and Stern machines back from dead, but this is my first System 80 machine. I got the machine in place checked the connections, and plugged it in. Everything but the credit and ball in play light up and the attract sounds worked etc. I tried to add credits with no response, and unable to start the game. I was also unable to get the front door adjustment button to respond, and after turning off the machine and checking the connection for the credit display, all segments light. I checked the fuses, and also made sure the LED's light on the board. I feel like I am missing something simple, but I am not sure where to start.
Looking for some good reliable resources to gather info on Sys 80. Also, if anyone can trouble shoot if the credit display and front door functions are related.
