I did not want to start another sttng question thread, but I am out of ideas.

When I got the game both cannons rotated on start up, like they should. I broke the small crank arm on the left cannon by physically hitting the cannon accidentally. (It was already broken and glued together by the previous owner)

I replaced the crank arm. In diagnostics, the cannon switches (home/mark) work correctly. When I boot the game the right cannon will rotate, and the left cannon does not rotate. Both cannons work fine in game modes, such as battle simulation and launch a probe.

If I shut down the game when the cannon is pointed at the playfield, it will find home when I start the game later.

All I can think of is the often mentioned wire harness, but the cannon works fine except for this start up test,

Thanks in advance!

If there are no credit dots, no errors when you power on the game, and everything is working, then who cares?

I agree -- mine does the same thing. Right cannon goes every time, left cannon goes like one in ten times on startup, but it works 100% every time during gameplay and tests and there are no credit dots or anything. It also goes home on startup if I power it down in the wrong position, so it's not ever going to cause a fault. I almost wonder if it's by design or a rom bug or something.

Same here....sometimes they both move during test - sometimes one does....they always both work in gameplay. I've had 2 STTNG's ....they both did this.

Ok. I realize it is not a big issue. I just didn't know if something was off that I needed to fix. Thanks for the input! : )
