Having an issue with Capt. B-Zarr, head will work ok then when it turns to the right (his left) it sticks there and throws an error or credit dot. Same results in head test, also there are no active switches other than the ones that are supposed to be closed. Optoboard was changed and are working properly. Motor control board swapped with known good one and still get same results. I have searched on Pinside and have seen that others have had the same issue but there hasnt been any fix. This si starting to get me frustrated as I dont know where to go next. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

Quoted from pinballkyle:

Hi PZ owners. Capt bizarre is doing bizarre things.
It works perfect in test mode. All optos work.
During gameplay if I shoot the left ramp when the head turns all the way left, it will stay there.
Then when I go into test mode it reports head malfunction.
Go into head test mode or reboot game = it’s back to fully working. Until that left ramp is hit!
I’ve read about the 3rd opto on the head opto board can cause issues, but I know that opto works. Could it be a gearbox issue?

It looks like you are having the same issue as I was experiencing. The fault lies in the optos that bally utilized for the opto board. It is along the same path of issues for other opto boards i.e. TZ clock. I am working with german-pinball to hopefully have a suitable replacement. Will have more info soon. In the meantime do not order the replacement board from Marco nor replacement equivalent optos from your local rat shack or Mouser, Digi-key, etc.

I cannot stress enough as wonky as this seems it is your optos.
