Does it eject 1 ball but two come out, or does it physically eject one then it ejects another one.
The trough scoop can break a weld over noticed and it would eject two balls for me. Sometimes it would eject, bounce back in, or never get out, then eject again and get two out
Quoted from Doctor6:No man, that's way long ago. I updated my info. Looks like a bad opto board. Nothing with the actual trough.
ya but you swapped it and it now has new issues? or do you think those are unrelated to this board but a switch or the spike system?
Quoted from Doctor6:I swapped the board for another one on the playfield. Trough is fine. The bad board now is messing something else up (because I swapped it out with this bad one). There are 5 of them in this machine. Already replacing that board through stern and hope that fixes it. So it seems like this was the issue. Damn things are flakey as hell.
OHHH a problem followed that board, thank you. Good to know. weird... I would assume it could be repaired, just need to figure out which component. I dug some on the schematics for stern parts, they use some SMD 2n7002P on another board.. hmmm
Quoted from Doctor6:If I could change the mosfets, I would. Nobody seems to know their specs. Stern is replacing it under warranty, but I'd like a few spares as they are flakey as hell.
are they making you ship back the old one? if not, maybe sending to one fo the board repair guys would help diagnose and figure out the part.
