I’m new to the forum, having just picked up a pretty beat Whirlwind project over the weekend. I think it will clean up nicely.

I have an issue that may have been discussed previously, if so I apologize for the repeat.

When i finally got it to power up the displays were dim and only partially visible. Kept working on other parts of the game and got it to play but now displays are totally dark.

I’ve reseated all the connectors, which is the limit of my capabilities without guidance. Where should I start? Any ideas and guidance greatly appreciated.

When I got the machine powered up it had a dim, illegible glow. A few minutes later I got the game to play but the displays were totally dark.

Working on a recent purchase Whirlwind. I’m not much with electrical stuff. I am more of a plug and play so any basic help would be greatly appreciated.

None of the under the playfield 906 bulbs appear to be working. I’ve swapped them all out so it’s not a bulb issue.

Am I just unaware of when they should be lit? Is there one board or fuse that controls them all. The rest of the light work fine.

Thanks

Can someone give me some insights as to when the radar is supposed to be lit?

I am still having problems with the under the playfield flashers. They do not fire during game play, nor do they fire during test. I’ve swapped and tried all sorts of bulb and LED options. No luck.

I’m not much with the fix of
electrical stuff. Probably a stupid question but what does it mean to verify the line is plugged in? Where would I look to do that.

Any other thoughts on where to look for a solution?

I did run the test. All solenoids fire, which I believe is when the flashers are supposed to fire as well. None of them light.

Spinners aren’t spinning. When I run the diagnostic it makes a slight whirring sound but no movement of the spinners. Thoughts?

Thanks, PinZen. I’ll give it a look.
