Well Here we go. I recently acquired a STTNG machine and it came out of a Laundry Mat. It's in good shape cosmetically, but has some gremlins that I am chasing down. And I am hoping for some help from the forum.
First is the cannons. I've got most of the issues fixed and running. The current issue is the left gun can't find the home location. I have replace both switches under the playfield associated with the cannon and finding home, and still no luck. Any suggestions on where to look next?
Secondly, and more importantly. When I turn the machine on and start a new game. It instantly starts a mode and the ball doesn't kick out to the shooter trough. This is a new issue that has started since I have been working on the cannons. Before it would start fine and you could play the game, in a somewhat safe mode, where the cannons were bypassed.
I'm pretty comfortable at troubleshooting and have become familiar with this game and the common issues it has. Now I am looking for places to start checking to resolve these issues.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks
