You should check all fuses because a previous owner might have changed the value of the fuse. This is very common. Remember to take out the fuse to test it.

Quoted from TheOnlyest:Since you're all in preservation mode, i'd suggest a 1.5" strip of mylar about an inch below the fish insert to the scoop, before you beat that area up next.
Exactly, on mine I installed this mylar over the fish below the scoop.

Quoted from SimplePin:Does this have the black outline on the mylar or is that just showing the shape and that it has rounded corners?
I'm not sure if I ordered that exact SKU but mine had no black outline. If you inspect the Stern Indiana Jones playfield, you will not find a perfect rectangle with rounded corners in front of a scoop, so I'm pretty confident that SKU does not have a black outline either.
Quoted from HIPPY:I am doing a playfield swap,ang it is a beast. As you can see, the fish wear extends a couple more inches.MORE MYLAR? I ended up swapping. It will get pinsound,color dmd, and be ab beauty.u[quoted image]
Check if you have the right coil, it might be too powerful.
Quoted from FLASHBALL:After completely pulling Red's head out and cleaning the sleeves, plungers and linkages they will close their eyes but still wont open. For now I have opened their eyes manually and disabled the rest of the eye movement. Boy are these faces finicky. I GIVE UP[quoted image][quoted image]
You can see how the eyes are supposed to work in this video
I bet you misplaced a spring. Also check your linkage is not broken and has its original shape https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/03-8479
Quoted from pudealee:Hey clempo - I Ran the test and nothing really popped out as being an issue. I can live with it until I get my Color DMD. But I am curious if it is the display that is starting to have issues or the controller board.
Try jiggling and resetting your ribbon cable connectors. You need to do this to the ribbon cable from the DMD board to the DMD screen, but also the ribbon cables from the CPU board to the DMD controller board in the backbox. I had weird pixels on my DMD this week and that fixed it for me.
Quoted from monkfe:Was watching a youtube stream by Bowen on this game that just popped up in my browser, anyway was watching Bowen do his thing and he came to a point in the game where he says you can get to "construction mania" or something like that...but that it was a certain button press and that he missed it so he never actually played that part of the game...so how do you get to it and what actually is it?
When Bob is lit, you visit Bob and if the sign says "Uranium Ore $3 a Chunk", quickly press both flippers. Construction Mania is a 20 second round where every switch is worth 3 million.

Quoted from Santis:Hi. Does anyone ever have problems whit the ground? I’m getting a little zap and DMD is no working (DMD board just redone ). Thank you
Did you reseat the connectors? When I had trouble with my DMD it turned out to be the connector two boards away.
Do you have another screen you could swap to test?

Quoted from PTHermes:I just rebuilt both heads and now Red has very loud eyes, can hear them even with the glass on. By loud, I mean you can hear the solenoids buzzing, not clicking or hammering. Does this mean I need new Solenoids, or is there something I should try to adjust?
Is there one or more coils in the head locked on?
Quoted from Lhyrgoif:I renovated both Red and Ted about two years ago and everything worked fine then. Now recently Ted's (of course it couldn't be Red) eyes can only look left but not right. I can't remember if I can hear the coil clicking when trying to look right or not when the eye test is running. The eyelids work as they should. I remember there are two tiny coils controlling the eye movement so I guess the one controlling the movement to the right have a loose cable.
As Ted is a lot of work to get out I wanted to ask here if there could be any other explanations beside a loose coil cable. The coils themselves almost never go bad so I don't think it's that.
Is it possible to connect Teds head to Reds playfield connector (to see if the problem is outside the head) or will that damage the game?
You can remove the hard hat pretty easily and you could check if the left-right wire linkage at the top is still well attached.

Quoted from allsportdvd:I bought this game as a project in 1000 pieces, not even sure it’s complete
Now that the playfield is cleared it’s time to start!
This will be a bit daunting but 1st question is should I assemble and install the heads as the first thing?
[quoted image]
Makes sense since you have to remove the ramps to get easy access to the heads to repair them.

Quoted from MyParagon1979:Clempo,
Appreciate you taking the time and thought to help.
Already tried, figuring that was the easiest test.
Will try again later today, outta respect and hope from your feedback!

I keep repeating myself, but for me it was a revelation that the problem was the connector two boards away.
