Posting this to the proper section hopefully!
Newbie into the scene but (Santa) was forced to dive in quickly to get a 2003 TSPP that I picked up into proper working order. Rebuilt flippers, new coils too and they work great. Did all the rubber too! Getting there! I have a few stumpers I need help with. The first has to do with the start button. First it sometimes doesn't respond (have to push it a few times). Then if I add players and keep pushing it it will add 10,000 points to the player every time I push it. Also if I am in a 1 player game it will randomly add another player. Could it just be a bad switch? Looks fine and I cleaned it.
Next one is the ejector for the bus. Very weak. Just replace that assembly?
Next one is a power issue. The machine has turned off in the middle of a game a few times. Then would not come back on for a bit. Very rare but does happen. This one I plan to open up the power supply and check all the wiring. Haven't gone through this one yet.
Next 2 are more game specific for the Simpsons. One is that sometimes there is a long delay after I get it into the garage before it decides to finally bring it up to the living room. Other times it happens right away.
The last one is one that really screws up the gameplay. When I get 2 balls in the couch lock, the game is supposed to just enter back in one new ball for play. But it brings in 2 balls. And I am stuck with that for every new round (keeps bringing in 2 balls) and only way to reset is to turn the machine off and back on.
Thanks in advance for any help on these! Been quite the project but so worth it!!
