Theatre of Magic Bally, 1995

Hey Guys
Having a weird issue -
you know how when you're waiting to plunge in a Theatre of Magic, you can select the illusion for the skillshot using the right flipper button? Lots of other machines have something similar, like in TSPP you can cycle through the TV modes using the right flipper.

Anyway...my TOM cycles through the illusions in a weird way. Some of the illusions can't be selected, and strangely, some of the magicianship lights (bottom 4 diamond shaped lights) are included in the cycle.

Haven't dug in at all yet, any ideas on where to start? Possible a ribbon cable or something is off by one position maybe?

Machine seems to work really well other than this one quirk. It's a HUO machine that's very clean.

Thanks Friends!

just bumping this to see if anyone has any thoughts

First thing that comes to my mind is maybe that is a menu setting. If you’re willing to lose your high scores a factory reset might ‘fix’ the problem. Or dig through the manual and see if such a setting is available.

I was thinking setting too, but he says it's lighting the wizard mode qualifications too? Thats weird.

Either way, reset is a good idea to start.

I'll upload a video so you guys realize I'm not losing my mind...but agree it's totally weird.
