Hi there,
Stepping in because I have a SS myself that I'm currently repairing. I'm now to the point that the pin is playable but has an erratic behaviour with the target eater (and sometime freezes requiring a reboot, usually just when the first game is initialized). All this is in a separate topic.
Could you tell me how the instant 3 ball should work on this pin, by checking on yours ?
My understanding is that one should open the eater compartment (shooting either all 3 center target 3 times or shooting the correct one at first, when the lamps are cycling through all 3 columns). Then, locking a ball in the eater *should* start the instant 3 ball mode... ? i'm not sure if the game should put the remaining two balls in the shooting lane at once, or how it should work (considering mine has a problem with the eater compartment, I'm trying to understand what it SHOULD do...)
Thanks !
edit: that's assuming you manage to start yours. If I can be of any help... Do you have the manual for the game ? Inside you'll find the correct wiring and notably the colors of each wire (to know to which pin it should go: see p. 31http://mirror2.ipdb.org/files/2090/Data_East_1988_Secret_Service_Manual.pdf).
