I know this isn't a repair thread, but it's a place where many of you with Popeye tech expertise are.

I bought a Popeye that had under 100 plays, it's damn near perfect. The only flaw is one that's really troubling.

My skill shot wheel does odd stuff, like stop. A new ball is loaded. The wheel spins, immediately stops, restarts, and when you launch the ball it stays in the wheel. It will eventually fall out as the game searches for the ball. Sometimes it doesn't do it at all, but tonight was rough.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Quoted from vdojaq:

Sounds terrible and you shouldn't fix it. I suggest you PM me right away so I can take this nuisance off your hands immediately for a ridiculously low price.

What's that Apollo 13 worth to you??

Thanks for the info guys, I'll start looking it over. I'm sure I'll post some questions.

Hey vdojaq, I just across an ad for one that is supposed to be in good shape in Marshall IL for $3500 if you're seriously wanting one. Not mine, obviously.

I'm pleased to report it was just dirty optics and Popeye is again right as rain, I put 4 games on with no issues. I'm also a little embarrassed to not have known all the steps to diagnose. I'm learning.

The machines I have are just getting to the point of breaking down at times, so I'm learning a bit at a time.

I have a SMB that needs a diode replaced on an up kicker. That's tomorrow's task.

If my wife wouldn't scream, I'd have a dozen or so.

There's a few on eBay right now, not too pricey.
