Making progress on my project game. It's running! well, mostly. I pulled off the dead MPU battery and installed a coin cell holder for a new 2430 battery. Game is setup for 110V operation. It had been set to 220V since it was a re-import. Many assemblies were stuck from sitting but are working now. Still need to disassemble and clean a few.
At the moment there are few things to get working:
- Upper Left flipper isn't working. Coil seems to check out ok. It looks like the cabinet flipper switch on the left has two sets of contacts. Which set of those controls the upper flipper? Should be able to track this issue down soon.
- Motor isn't running but I do hear the relay clicking when the test runs. Should that motor have power all the time and run whenever the relay is actuated? Is there a fuse just for the motor power? I've tried cleaning the relay contacts but they may still be dirty. Just want to get a better idea on how that is all controlled.
- The rest just seems to be some lamps out on the sides of the car, some in the backbox, and some flash lamps. Still could be bad bulbs, corroded sockets (likely), or a bad driver on the board.
Overall my impression of the game is good. Seems to play well and has a couple innovative features.
