I recently bought a TOTAN, and replaced the bulbs. 2 bulbs are normal 555 6.5V. There is one flasher lamp as well. Typically, the black base units (2) are 6.5V. The one grey unit is the 12v flasher. Hope this helps.

I joined Dec 18th. Working on a sh0p job + a bit more. Quick question. Left of the Pop Bumpers, rubbers and 2 bulbs. The rubbers are 2.5 inch i believe.
This does not look right, due to flex in the rubbers, the ball eventually hits and bend/breaks the bulbs. I want to keep the illumination incandescent, but its clear the bulbs will break over time (for the time being put a few leds). Is this correct, or am i missing something. If this is correct, its one hell of a bad design.

Thanks. I already put a slighly smaller ring, and will leave the plastic leds in (this spot only).

Anyone have the right in lane plastic, and the plastic that reaches around the genie? I need just these two, and dont want to buy a complete set.

Joined the club back in December. The machine has a few problems, and over the last few months have worked out most of the bugs. But, I'm stuck.
After ball 1, my games loads 2 balls; but not all the time.

I have done the normal things: 1) Checked the ball trough for divets, and put in a shim. 2) Replaced the balls in case they were magnetized. 3) Went ahead and replaced the transmitter optos in the ball trough (and yes they test out fine). It still has the issue!

Last night i did some more playing, and realized this condition only manifests on ball2, and once Ball 1 is put into ball lock. Ball 2 loads along with Ball 3 all at once.
I also checked the ball lock switches, which all passed switch tests. Going to retry tonight.

Anyone have any ideas or seen this before?

I inspected them under a magnifying glass, and they all looked great. But valid point, I had not attempted to reflow the connections. May give that a try tonight.

I will state that i did numerous switch edge tests with the optos. It never failed. And thought if i had a cold solder joint, i should have seen it by now.

At this point, I am open to trying anything......

Ball 1 loads perfectly. If i dont lock the ball (the mode), and it drains after play, ball 2, 3, and 4 load one at a time (per each normal play). But if I lock ball 1, when it loads ball 2, it also loads ball 3 immediately after. (note, before replacing the balls and shim, it used to do a random combo, sometimes loading 2 balls at once, or a few seconds later. the shim and ball replacement seem to clear part of it up). So I now have 2 balls stacked in the shooter lane. Even more interesting, if i left one ball drain, it still does not end the ball. At that point I have to drain both balls before it stops to play ball 3.

Is one coil activation loading 2 balls? I dont think so. It sounds like it is energizing twice. And if it were, the problem would be all the time, and not just went under ball lock.

It's bizarre.......

I would be interested, depending on what you have.

Indeed. That one works perfectly. Like, I said bizzare. Will mess with it tonight, and keep everyone posted.

One more question. Do Totan orders have an issue with the ball getting stuck on the left ramp? If the ball is hit to light (And the magnet is not activated), that ball gets stuck before the metal bracket/ramp. Again, only happens on a very slow ball.

Lift bracket is there, and it gets stuck right there at the entry. Only when the ball is hit soft. Bracket is not bent and sits flush.

Playfield angle is 2nd (+ a bit extra) line of the bubble. Think that is about 7 degrees or so.

I can increase the angle, but it shouldn't be needed

Quick update on my double ball load during lock. Figured it out. One of the lock switches (in the lane, there are two, right below the magnet), was returning very slowly. It was not popping back when activated. Instead very slowly coming back up. Must be a bug in the software, when this is activated under certain conditions, it ignores the shooter ball lane switch, then loading 2 balls. Replaced one of the bad lane lock switches, and no more problems (pic below of the switch I am discussing).

Bingo. In the end, I replaced the switch (and recycled the actuator arm). There was nothing that appeared to bind with the old switch, but its release from being actuated was very slow. So assuming something just got gummed up in the switch. I'm still surprised that the game would react this way, since the shooter lane switch was working fine, and could detect an existing ball in the lane.
