Well, count me in the club. At least as soon as I finish getting it running. I just posted in the tech forum but figured somebody here might have the answer handy.

The machine boots and then when I press start, it pops up the message "Initializing Please Wait", flashes it a couple times and then goes straight to game over.

Any ideas?

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I have 4 balls installed, but it is not doing anything in the ball trough that I can see or hear. I'll have to make sure I don't have a bad solenoid or blown fuse.

I found the problem. It is always the stupid things. The ribbon cable from the CPU board to the driver board had become lifted but looked like it was in place. I pushed it down. Powered up and it kicked out and locked the 4th ball and was ready to play.

Tough game. First game scored 1 billion+ and made 7th in the buy-in list. Second game, barely got 200 million.

Not a great picture. I had the glass off and was cleaning and waxing it.
