I’m working on bringing back a Solar City. The Bonus Unit only counts up to 9 bonuses when I think it should be 15. First thing I did was clean the stepper to get it to work smoothly. This has been done and it still only counts to 9, this is all done manually, by the way, as the game is taken apart.

Can someone please post a photo of their Solar City bonus unit showing where the “missing tooth” is and also where the peg that set the zero position is supposed to go?

I think that’s the issue with this stepper, someone moved the zero position peg.

Thanks

the pacific pinball museum has two solar cities being worked on at the moment, but I won't be back to the warehouse for a week

the flat spot on the ratchet would be at step 14 (14 steps up from reset = 15 wipers positions in total), and that's when the peg should open the "15th pos. bonus unit" switch.

the post/peg that stops the ratchet at the reset position is on the underside of the ratchet between the ratchet and frame.

post a pic of your unit if ya like, but it sounds like you need to remove the topside switch operating peg, verify the unit steps 14 times from reset, then stick the peg in the appropriate hole to open the switch.

if you don't have 14 steps up from reset to the flat spot, that's a bigger problem. I dunno if you can move the reset stop peg/post.
