Cyclone
Williams, 1988I finished restoring my Cyclone today. As part of this project, I swapped the playfield.
So, when I turn the game on, the game kicks the pinball out into the shooter lane. I then send the ball up the playfield with the plunger, and then it goes into the ball trough and it stays there until I press the start button to activate a game. Everything works fine from that point on.
Any ideas why it would cause the ball to kick out when turning the game on?
Thanks for your help.
Quoted from LTG:If it was okay before the swap. I'd go over your work. Switch wired wrong somewhere ? Switch stuck closed somewhere ? Switch shorting to ground somewhere ?
LTG : )
Ok, I will check it out and report back tomorrow. Thank you LTG.
So, I checked the switch where the pinball sits in the ball trough and it looked ok, but I adjusted it. It might have been slightly off. That fixed the issue.
Thanks for your help LTG.
I have a similar issue. I have a Williams F-14 Tomcat and while a ball is in play, one to two balls will get kicked into the shooter lane. Since the plunger is not strong enough to push both pinballs into the playfield, I have to remove the glass. Anyone had something like this happen? I did replace the the display with an LED 11AB. Don't see the connection, but who knows.
Thanks
