Hey folks, can't wait to join the club!
Getting slowly prepared to do the playfield swap on mine.
In fact, I am currently working out a few issues with the machine before I restore it.
I could use a bit of help.
- Can someone post a close up photo of the coil that drops the ball below the playfield? I'd like to see the wire connections to the coil and the diodes orientation.
- If anyone feels like taking the dagger plastic above the ramp diverter off ... I would love a photo of that coil and it's connections too.
Basically, my problem is that whenever the ball would try to drop into the playfield (in front of the genie), it would go down part way and then reset the machine.
I switched in another Power Board ... and the reseting stopped, however, I have the same problem that the coil drop would only go down part way then Fuse F103 would blow.
Other notes: The lock magnet is currently not working (possibly needs to be replaced). And I noticed that the Ramp diverter coil seems to be defective and one wire was disconnected, so I took it our entirely, and have ordered another one. Suspecting it had been locked on and need to fix transistor on original board.
So, if you think you know the cause of my Drop Coil blowing the F103 fuse, I'm all ears. Could a defective coil do that? There was a slash/dent on the exterior of the coil.
Thanks for any help.
