Hi

I've still got an ongoing problem with the Joyride lights, they don't work at all. I've completed a continuity test on the circuit board, bulbs & connector lead & All's good. I just don't know where to go from here. Also the 3 left lights on the williams sign don't work & the orange & yellow on the traffic light....not sure if these are all related.

Any help would be great, it's beginning to get annoying.

Also, I've fixed the bell but it sounds really dull, is there any adjustments that can be made?

Thank you

The joyride lights and pinball palace lights are all in the same column, so I would start with looking for the column problem there, often that is just a bad IDC connector. I assume you mean red and yellow traffic lights, those are likely a separate problem (review the lamp matrix chart). Troubleshooting column problems is explained in this link in detail, see "testing the lamp columns" http://techniek.flipperwinkel.nl/wms11/index2.htm#lamp

The bell, I don't think there is really an adjustment for it. Mine is "scares the crap out of me" loud. Wouldn't hurt to try replacing the .1uf cap on the bell, check wiring/connnectors are good at both the bell and at the driver board.
