Hi all,

I am hoping this is an easy fix....I have found in test that the 80's lamps are switched out with the 40's lamps. i.e. #85 - lamp in cube is actually lighting the safe escape inserts and #82 which is non utilise is lighting vanish. But in test, #45 and #42 are lighting nothing (all 40's are not lighting anything). Then the ultra odd thing is #86 shoot again is correctly lighting that insert but also lighting the tiger saw award and #81 special also lights extra ball.

Any ideas on what this fix could be (I don't see anything in the manual that shows its just a connector swap)

Thx!

Sounds like a diode on backwards somewhere. Or something wired wrong.

Lamp matrix works like switch matrix.

LTG : )

Update.... someone crossed the wires going to the board. Not sure why, but the #4 pin was a wire that went nowhere (just dangling) and the #8 wire was combined with the other side of the #4 wire...didn't make sense but its now working correctly
