I have a beautiful T2 that the cannon stop firing. It works in test mode but that's it. I tried swtiching driver boards and that didn't fix it. Any suggestions of what it could possibly be. Tried several things. I could use some advice at this point. Thanks and Happy New Years!!!

thanks for the repsonses. Yes the cannon is home and I believe the cannon knows its loaded becasue it does move after the ball goes in.

Sorry I was dealing with some medical issues with my daughter and didn't look at this post or anything else for that matter. Yeah It's still not working and I need to do some trouble shooting. I'm going to look at the game tomorrow. I really want this up and running. Its a beautiful game I appreciate your help .

Quoted from Manny65:

Hope your daughter is ok - pinball can wait.

So the issue is when the cannon is loaded and swings out, pulling the trigger does not fire the ball - right? Does pulling the trigger to launch a ball into play work? Is the issue intermittent or every time? When you say "it works in test mode" what part are you referring to as works?

Thank you. She is doing ok. So yes the ball shoots out every time without issue. However when the cannon is loaded its not shooting. At first I believe it shot most of the time, now it doesn't work at all

Quoted from Manny65:

When you do the gun test in test mode and the cannon swings around to the targets, does the "at mark" switch work? You can only fire the cannon while it is "at mark" where the cannon is pointing towards the targets (it stops people firing the cannon too early and damaging the skull or other plastics). Check that the switch is actually working, as it's possibly a broken wire/solder joint at the switch or a failed switch. The switch is on the underside of the playfield, it's the roll over switch under the cannon gearbox. Go into switch test mode and check that the switch is working (you may need to firstly move the cannon into a position whereby you can test the switch) or alternatively you could use the gun test mode move the canon into position and then manually test the switch works.

I'm going to try it in test mode again and see whats happening. I had a person helping me, so I need to see for myself. thx

I dont know if this helps or not... When the ball s in the cannon and you try and shoot, of course it doesn't work, but after it goes all the way down, it just shoots the ball out of it. Does this eliminate anything, or add something to look at? thanks for your help.
