I have had a few late 70's Bally SS machines - still have a Lost World and a Strikes & Spares - but always wanted a Captain Fantastic. Just could never find one that wasn't either a) all beat up or b) redone to like-new for an insane amount of money.
Finally found one, only driven to church by a little old lady. Drove 150 miles, the thing is in a third floor apartment, but I fired it up and played a while and everything was fine.
Got it down into the truck, (thank God for 20-something sons) drove it home, got it put back together, turned it on, everything still fine. Started a game, scored 300 points going through the upper gates, everything looking and sounding normal; suddenly nothing is working. Lights are still on but no flippers and won't cough up the ball again. Just lays there mocking me. Drop down targets will drop but no life in the saucers, rollovers or bumpers.
So before I break out the scotch, does someone have an idea where I could start? Like I said I do have some experience with early SS machines (long ways from an expert) and have had pretty good luck but I don't know anything about this beast at all.
Please help.
