Hi everyone
Im looking for a bit of help with my Diamond lady from Gottlieb. It’s a game I bought some time ago for me and my kids – trying to bring some of the good old stuff into their minds whilst their growing up. Its been working fine for a couple of years or so, and now I have run into my first problem with it… I have good fixing skills as such – but I know absolutely nothing about how this machine works and what the individual components do, so forgive me for asking to basic questions
My problem / how it reacts:
It will play just fine for about 10 min after I put the power on it. Everything works fine – all lightbulbs, sound and the individual mechanical devices etc. No problems at all. Then (When its warmed up? Could be an electrical components that’s now short wiring?) I start to see small random flicks on these 2 coils/actuators (see picture / red cirkles) – the one for the rebounder in the left lower corner and the “ball release” actuator in the right corner. They will randomly fire/activte for about 5 minutes while im playing. Whilst this happens – I can still play the game.
Then, both actuators will freeze in the “activated position”, meaning current is running through them. When this happens, the game freezes – and I cannot restart it. If I just leave it, the coils will go very hot as the power is constantly on. So I always keep it unplugged since this happened.
After some time – typically the day after or so – when I plug it back in, the game will work again for a few minutes and then repeat the process.
Does anyone have an idea about what could be wrong with it?? All help is highly appreciated
