Hi all. First time here… I’ve owned a WCS pinball for about 20 years. I mostly bought it for when the kids were around and only occasionally play it these days. A few days ago i was playing and I decided to replace some bulbs and also ended up replacing the batteries. It’s crazy, but I don’t ever remember replacing them before and even after all this time they still were working and had no corrosion. I did this with the power off and consequently lost all my settings. I think I’ve mostly got it back to how it was setup but I have one thing I still can’t figure out. When I turn it on, I get the initial “boing” sound but I don’t get anything else. Since I don’t play often, I think it’s supposed to play music and maybe say something about the players entering the field. Once I hit the start button, it says “Get ready for the big game”, and plays music. Throughout the game I get music and commentary.

So, should I be hearing an announcement and/or music when I first turn on the machine?

If so, is this a setting I didn’t restore correctly, or could I have inadvertently done something when I was replacing the batteries?

Thanks for letting me know. I should know better than to trust my memory.
