Do you have ceramic caps on the ball trough switches?

#2614 4 years ago

CottonM4 I meant were there any ceramic capacitors on the ball trough microswitches. If so, remove them. They are not needed.
Next, ensure your shooter lane switch is clean and gapped properly. Third, remove the apron and roll each ball one at a time in the trough to
ensure the switches are triggering properly. Some of the wire forms may hit the adjacent balls in the trough. Also, you may need to adjust the
ball trough wire forms to ensure that they click down when the ball passes and that they stay down. Sometimes vibration from the targets going
up and down and while playing the game can make the wire forms lift a little and give a false reading in the ball trough. The trough microswitches
must be perfect. (Three things that must be adjusted perfectly (Left ball lock switches), shooter lane switch and ball trough microswitches). They
all work with each other.

One last thing, remove ceramic disc caps on the sling shots if you have any. They're not needed here and can disrupt things.

Quoted from Coyote:

Have you checked the diodes on the switches?

I was going to go there as well. I'd place the game into switch test and ground each switch before the banded end of the diode. As you do this, look up at the
display to ensure the correct number shows up for the switch on the display. Compare the number with the switch matrix number. If one is incorrect or not
triggering, you found a problem.
