Just picked up a tales from the crypt for a good price, but I bought it with some known issues.
When I got it, it had some blown fuses and would not power up. I replaced the power supply, all the fuses, the cpu eprom and the display eprom, and rebuilt a few suspect looking connectors. After replacing all of that, it now boots and all the flashers and flippers work now.
I can trip the switches to make it think that a ball is in play and most everything is working on the playfield. The slings, bumpers, and ball save kicker all work, but coils for releasing a ball will not release a ball and the one that kicks it up to the shooter lane doesnt fire either if I just put a ball in it manually. Also the scoops kick out doesnt work, and the coil that launches the ball up behind the tombstone doesnt work either. Pressing the lever to launch the ball doesnt work either because that coil doesnt fire.
The shaker motor is working.
Also the DMD looks like its almost working, but is not. I am attaching a photo of how it is looking.
Where should I start looking to figure out why those coils dont work to kick out a ball to start the game and the other coils as well? And any tips on what might be going on with the DMD?
