Quoted from dragon2016:

My first question would be is there a good way to test and or fix a 7 digit alph/numeric display? My Player 1 display seems dead. It appears as though of my 4 displays I have 3 different types/styles. I assume someone replaced one of the alpha/numeric displays with something not standard. I looked online and couldn't find anything under 100 bucks! Is there an aftermarket replacement less expensive?

The top displays are the same type, they are called alphanumeric displays. You can swap player 1 and player 2 displays with each other and if the problem stays on player 1 then you may have a bad master display board or a bad ribbon cable. If the problem moves to player 2 then you have a bad display. The display glass can be replaced but are a bit spendy at @ 75.00.

Did you connect player # 2 cable to display #1?

Do you have a logic probe?

Quoted from dragon2016:

Nope--I am guessing I cannot use a multimeter?

. That is too funny!
This is the logic probe I was referring to.

Quoted from dragon2016:

now I got to get a specific toolbox for this stuff and I am guessing one of these logic probe needs to be in there.

I use a fishing tackle box for this. Plenty of room for tools in the top, pull out divided trays for screws, nuts, bolts, washers, fuses, lights and any other pinball related items.

Is there an industry standard for screws and such inside?
