Quoted from twigggs:Ran the table for over 7 hours last night and no issues. I'm thinking the issue is now solved. Not only did the table NOT spit out balls forever in multiball mode, but it never skipped a ball on anyone (meaning going from ball1 to ball3 as if ball2 was drained).
Before I close this thread, is anyone able to explain to me logically, how replacing the opto boards fixed this issue? I would like to have an understansing so I can learn and use the knowledge for the next problem I encounter.
Thank you!
Those are the "jam" optos that are there to tell the game a ball did not get ejected all the way out to the shooter lane and is "jammed" between ball one in the trough and the shooter lane. My buddy's T3 did EXACTLY the same thing as yours when it got hot from being played for a while and in the switch tests at that time the jam opto showed closed all the time.
