Hi everyone. I need some help from people with some more experience and knowledge on early Bally SS. I recently did my first playfield swap on a Bally Skateball. Overall it went well. And I worked out a few issues after I got it completed and back up and playing. I am left with one issue that I can’t figure out. I have looked at this forum and some other online sources, but I need help.
Issue: The right flipper causes phantom switch issues. Example: points score when hitting the flipper while the ball is still in the shooter lane. Maybe 1 out of every 10-20 flips. If you rapid hit it occurs more frequently. Also sometime it will tilt and sometimes the top left pop bumper will fire when the right flipper is hit. Every once in a while the game will reset and a siren like sound comes out of the speakers?
When you play a normal game it doesn’t happen often, but if you rapidly hit the right flipper it happens. And during normal play I will get a reset every so often. The last three times it reset it was immediately after the ball hit the left top through lane (twice) and once when I hit the right flipper button. But it will go games when it is fine.
Some background
When I got the pin the right lower flipper switch (at the flipper) had a hack in the wiring. Picture below.
The two farthest left (orange/white and brown) wires were cut off the switch and connected together with a nut.
When I did the playfield swap I put a new flipper switch with dual EOS that I believe is the correct part.
My current thought is questioning if the cabinet flipper switch on the right side is incorrect. The right one is a double stack and the one on the left cabinet flipper switch is a single. Should the right switch be a single? I can’t seem to find a picture or info in the manual or parts catalog on planetary website. Did someone put a double switch there and that is why they hacked the two wires at the flipper switch?
Can someone confirm if the pictures cabinet flipper switch is correct in the picture?
If I am totally off in my thought, please point me right direction.
Just fyi, the mpu, sdb, and lamp board are new weebly nvram. I also ran the switch test and nothing is open. And I clipped the cap at the tilt bob.
Pictures are of how the flipper was wired originally. How it is now. Right cabinet flipper switch and left cabinet flipper switch.
Thanks for any help and guidance
