Hi

I'm new to Gottlieb machines and just got a decent shape Super Mario Bros machine which the seller told me was working fine and he played it just the orher night. It was a quick deal as the price was good and interested many. So I trusted him on the condition.

So I powered it on back home and everything seems fine. Attract mode looks nice, inserts and gi works and flashers...well flash. Pic below.

Then I press start, inserts turn off and no ball is sent to launcher. Flippers dont work and ball launcher dont do anything. See second pic. Neither start button or ball launcher button are illuminated. Upon first power-on, a ball was launched from the upper field down to ramp to the tray as it had become dislodged during transport. The seller was a real dufus.

So I try to tilt it. Which works, but I can't get past the tilt screen as button presses doesn't register. See third pic.

What's the issue here? Fuses? Are they the same type as williams games? Bevause I have a bunch of different ones for those.

The image order might backwards. I'm on smartphone.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The balls! I did not think of it. Haven't counted them but the game installs five, or six? I don't have the manual easily ready. I will check!

Solved! It was the balls. My missing balls. lol

One was missing or is stuck somewhere. Anyway, I put in three new ones and it works fine.

So a new question...volume is very low shouldn't there be a volume pot here somewhere? Sorry for blurry pic.

I'm stupid. That is the pot. I was looking for an extra board with a tournament button on it. Thanks guys.
