Thank you Ingo! Just sent paypal for the all-in-one assembled board.

Question -- does this work well with the auto-eddy board? If I understand correctly, it may mean a delay in hits as the board powers back up, but that would be an acceptable tradeoff to prevent the trunk from stopping.

Thanks again!

That baffled me, too ... I had pictures when I took mine apart to remove one of the ramps, but didn't have that connector in the picture so wasn't completely sure. Thanks for the clarification! I wasn't motivated enough to search.

Edit: Oh, and thanks Ingo! Look forward to the board! Although, funny enough, since I've cleaned everything up, degreased, lubed, tightened, etc., I haven't had a single trunk failure in weeks. I used to have to avoid the trunk during multiball to get around this problem.

Finally got around to installing, very easy! Excellent board, Ingo!

I'm having a minor problem that I cannot duplicate regularly since installing the board. Sometimes, the trunk registers a hit even though the ball is nowhere near... This typically happens during a skill shot: for example, you shoot the ball and as soon as the ball leaves the plunger, the skill shot (trunk hit) registers.

I tried reseating/confirming connections, nothing obvious. The eddy sensor is a pinbit auto eddy. Any suggestions on what to check? Thanks!

Thanks Ingo -- I changed this right away to bypass the Leon part of the board, and tested for a few days. I had 1 false hit (on launch), but otherwise 100%. I then changed it back yesterday to include the Leon board and so far, no false hits. So, it appears the problem has nothing to do with the Leon board and may be improved because of connection reseating. Although, I would think a poor connection somewhere would have the opposite effect -- that is, trunk hits not registering.

It could be the pinbits auto eddy recalibrating or something happening to register a false hit. But, doesn't seem to happen enough to be easily identified. Right before I posted the problem, I hit an odd surge where I got several of them over the course of a couple of games.

I definitely like the aluminum opto interruptor. When I got my ToM, the guy who owned it had the damn thing glued on. Good grief. Probably took more effort to glue the thing on and hold it in place than to just buy a new one. At least with the metal one, it's not going to break (hopefully ).
