Good afternoon everyone!
Pinball newbie here. I was hoping someone could guide me on a few issues in having with my Super Mario Bros. (blue) machine that I got recently.
There are 2 major issues I am having:
My shooter button does not fire the ball when the ball in the shooting lane. If I put the ball in the field of play and score a little, then place the ball back into the shooting lane, the ball is fired back into play. In testing, the solenoid test checks out. Also, in the switch matrix test, the shooter button does show when pressed.
A potentially related issue is the upper left play field trigger. This trigger, on the switch matrix test, always shows as pressed. I can hit any other switch and it always jumps back to that trigger. The trigger itself is not physically touching.
These two problems are not in the same row or column on the switch matrix, but I really have no clue what I need to do. I'm not fantastic with electronics, but I take direction well!
Thanks for any help and if I can clarify anything, please let me know.
