2002 Stern Playboy throws me another curve ball, the game is getting stuck in Endless Mansion Mania, where it constantly is throwing balls out left and right until you have a seizure. From what I have read most people have a problem with " an opto in the ball trough" it's not registering that there is all the balls in the trough and keeps thinking you are in mansion mania, so you shoot and get all the playmates and it restarts. The only way it stops is when you eventually get two balls to go into the trough simultaneously, also sometimes two balls will randomly shoot out to the beginning point, I am assuming the two are tied together, if anyone has any input to A verify my suspicion and B tell me what I must to do adjust optos that would be greAt. Thankssssssssss

run a trough test if it has it, if not use switch test. That will tell you your opto problems. Sometimes you can just clean them and realign, sometimes you need to replace parts.

How would I run a trough test on this machine ? It has said in the past switch 29 is possibly broken I believe and on the manual 29 is a light labeled triple jackpot which never lines up, how would I access the optos? Would the top metal piece for the display cards come off? Or do I have to lift table up? Em pins which I am used to working on just open like a car one this one opens in a weird fashion to me and I always feel as if the wires running from head have some stress on them. Thanks for your help
