I used to have a perfectly working Twilight Zone. Now it appears suddenly at once my clock motor stopped working (I'm not sure the motor is dead), and both Eddy sensors are no longer working. Everything else works great. I've double checked connections, and fuses seem to be good. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what or how I should try and troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance

12v power may be cut. Check the plug going into the motor driver board, under the clock. Make sure you get a reading there. (Read on the input side, not the motor connection (output) side. Likely somewhere in the line the 12v is cut, or loose in a connector.

I will check that out tomorrow , thank you. Would that affect the Eddy sensors too?

Yeah - they're all supplied by the 12v..

Thank you for your help, I found a broken black ground wire leading to the opto board that was the cause of the issues
