Quoted from Evil_Science:This was great info Nokoro and frunch! I checked and sure enough, the star #7 rollover is dead also and is probably the culprit. I'll open up the machine this next weekend and have a look. Thanks for taking the time to mark up the switch list, I don't really have any experience reading electrical schematics.
Thanks so much!
Make sure you report back on what you find. And remember, it could be any switch in that row, not necessarily #7 rollover.
Good luck! You’re close!
Quoted from frunch:Also, be sure to stop in and ask any questions you may run into along the way. It took me a *long* time before i could read schematics and stuff, so i can understand how daunting some of this stuff can be. Ultimately, a lot of problems on these games are due to bad connectors and broken wiring (generally due to years of vibration)... and where there's a will, there's a way! If you're determined enough, you *will* solve the problem eventually!
Good luck!
I will reiterate this point. 6 years ago, I knew absolutely nothing about electricity or how these machines worked. It takes time, but with each repair, you learn a little more, gain confidence and knowledge, and become better prepared for the next one. At some point, you will cross over from being bewildered to actually intuiting what is wrong. That said, there’s still so much I don’t know and have to learn . . . .
