Space Shuttle
Williams, 1984We acquired a Space Shuttle Pin recently and it was working when we got it back to the arcade. I can add a credit and I can start a game but nothing happens.
If I go into diagnostics and do the Solenoid tests nothing actually happens.
I checked continuity on all the fuses and they all seem good. Still very new to diagnostics so any help is appreciated.
thanks!
Quoted from LTG:Did you pull fuses and check with a meter ?
LTG : )
My brother in-law High Speed did the same thing once. But he just told me it was broken. He did a job for me ( approximately $75.00) I said how much do I owe you, he said fix my High Speed next time you come over. About a month later I went to see my sister and went to look at his game. He then told me what all wasn't working. I pulled fuse out and replaced it. With in 5 minutes game was back in business and No Problems. He was pissed because it was just a fuse and he let it set for two months. 
I believe it happened during multi ball all 3 solenoid fired at the same time.
When you power on the machine do the coils pop real quick? Mine did that when I initially got it running then stopped working when I came back at another time. I ended up letting it sit and remembered I needed to recap my power supply. Recapped it and things started working again. Not saying the power supply is your issue, but you might test your voltages at the power supply and the coils.
Some info I found out:
Coils in Space Shuttle aren't driven off the CPU, there is a chip that drives them prior to leaving the MPU board on the left side.
