I’m working on a Theater of Magic and one of the multitude of issues it had, is the eddy switches on the outlines are not registering. So I replaced the boards with standard replacements. Not the auto sensing ones, the client would not spend the extra. They still don’t register the ball passing over, so I did some testing and the sensor will only read the ball if it is physically touching it, if it is at full sensitivity.

Both of them are doing the same thing. What am I missing here?

Thanks.

If you look in the manual the eddy sensors for the trunk and outlanes are just different by one capacitor. Its possible the eddy sensors you have are compatible for the trunk.

Just curious where you bought them?

Hmmm, I was not aware of that. So you may be correct. I will have to check when I get to my shop tomorrow afternoon.
This is the one I bought.

Ok, went ahead and did some digging and yep, I ordered the wrong blasted ones.
