Just recently joined the club. Loving the game. This morning I fired it up before heading to work and received switch error on switch #77. Checking the manual that says "Gun Lockup Under Playfield". I didn't have time to lift the playfield, so will be doing it later tonight but wanted to reach out to see if anyone knows exactly what that switch is for and what I should look for?

Must have been a glitch. Opened up the game, switch test was fine. Reset it and it worked ok.

Does anyone have a Pinsound file set for Dirty Harry?

Quoted from aobrien5:

Yes, this magnet was seriously mashed and there's a good divot right in front of it. Got any pictures of your fix? It's a good idea. Maybe a thin metal flap could do it.

Other issue I have is the ball falling out of the gun. Putting a rubber on the end of the rail hasn't helped. It looks like the front side of the "bowl" the ball is supposed to sit in is worn pretty good. Is there a replacement bracket available?

I just recently experienced the ball falling out of the gun. The fix for me was loosening the screw to the wireform ramp and pushing the wireform “back” (think easterly position). This made the hole smaller for the ball to drop down into and thus killing the momentum of the ball rolling out of the gun.

Quoted from MT45:

Any ideas how to protect this expensive left ramp? I noticed (not my game in below image but my arrows added) that the metal protectors on the ramp both are “bent inward” from the banging they get from both the upper flipper and the playfield mounted gun.
My DH looks just like this and has the colored cliffy posts and they appear to be slightly narrower than the old black or yellow standby ...
Would a black or yellow rubber in these 2 posts help keep those metal protectors from popping back into the flat face of each side of the ramp? (And thus potentially save it from cracking over time).
Are there even “fatter” post rubbers that would help ? Even to the point that they make that ramp a little harder to hit.
Other solutions you all have thought about?

I don’t have pics readily available of my Dirty Harry, but on all of my games with ramps or lock shots that have posts like that I also replace with fat rubbers. See my T2 below as an example.

Quoted from MT45:

Great idea. I just put those on my Fire (standard spec item). Can you still make the ramp with the gun?

Yes, just a little tighter.

Quoted from cocomonkeh:

My neighbor just grabbed a DH and I think the 16 opto board is flaky on it. The trough will lose count during multiball and not give balls or end balls sometimes. What's the common failure point on that board? I remember seeing a rebuild guide somewhere (upgrading certain resistors?) but I can't find it.

I just went through this similar situation. Game wouldn’t eject balls for multiball. Sometimes after a regular ball drain it wouldn’t kick out the next ball. Never did a switch test, just assumed the trough opto was bad since I had the same issue on my Austin Powers. So order a new board set. Installed. Same problem. End result was the balls got magnetized.
