Hi All,

First of all, thank you for the help / advice on this machine so far.

Damn, I was sooooo close.......

I've gotten many of the bugs worked out, and was on to the final one, which was that the extra ball or credit on points was only working on player 1.

However, CC's being CC's lots of other issues have now shown up.

1. Sometimes the start sequence does not complete, 1 score reel does not reset. If I manually reset it to zero position, the score motor still runs, the reel does not attempt to reset, the coil is good. (this is a new issue, never had it before)

2. Other times during the start sequence, the game will start way before the score reels are reset (also a new issue).

3. On a 1 player game, the machine will still cycle through multiple players, sometimes 1, sometimes 4 (yup, just started happening).

4. On a 4 player game (whether selected or just happens as in above, after player 4 is over, the player unit stays on player 4 instead of returning to player 1 (um, yeah, new as well).

5. End of ball bonus adds 500pts along with the normal 1000pts. (had this before and fixed it, but this is from a different cause.

Before I start rebuilding things, does it make sense that most of these problem would be coming from the player unit? I rebuilt it about a week ago, and it was working just fine.

Thanks.

They have been, and were working just fine. They aren't getting power during startup sequence.

Thanks

Arg! I'm thinking that it has to have something to do with the Player unit spiders. It was playing 99%. It's getting frustrating, Gimme a Gottlieb!

Hi all,

ok...I finally had the chance to revisit the game. All issues fixed except that only player 1 awards credit/extra ball on points.

Does anyone here have working knowledge of that circuit on a multiplayer CC?

Thanks.

Fixed!

Thanks Mark,

It was indeed a wiper on the player unit. I had suspected the player unit, but it would have taken me forever to trouble shoot it without seeing your logic (plus I forgot that the score reels needed to be 1000pts under the set amount). Ohming the circuit was much better than checking continuity.

I gave the machine set to award at 32,000 for now,(under 108,000pts). It awards at 32,000 but also awards at 132,000. Is that normal for CCs or do you think there is a short somewhere?

Me too. grrrrrrrr.
