hello wonderful pinside!
I acquired this grand prix 6 months ago. it has been working wonderfully. a week or so ago, at powerup/replay button pushed, player 4-1000 score reel turned constantly and did not reset. I found and altered the "culprit" switch, and WAS able to play games that night. I have not played that game for a few days now, and NOW WHEN I toggle-on the pin):
IN BODY: SCORE MOTOR, BOTH BONUS UNITS, 2 OTHER STEP UNITS: (ONE LABELED COIN UNIT) the other NOT LABELED ((BUT LOOKS SAME, its NEXT TO LABELED "coin unit")), run/fire nonstop.
and in backbox:
PLAYER UNIT fires nonstop, and three relays in a row NOT LABELED (two are m29-1100, one is m29-900) ) fire intermittently
there is obviously a hold up in the start up procedure. I have learned from previous fixes that it is good to know what you are doing/changing when you are doing/changing (obviously, right? lol)
so i ask my fellow pinsiders for help before i take needlenose plyers to anything/everything.
thank you in advance for any leads.
-barry.
