Quoted from snakejaw:First time poster, first time pin owner. I have to ask dumb questions, what can you do?
Have had a few issues with my new WOZ machine, it sat in a box for years and then got thrown around during shipping. I've monkeyed around and fixed what I could, but there are 2 issues I was wondering if anyone had some experience with.
1. In the castle upper playfield, the letter U switch is stuck open. Doesn't register being hit at all. Do I need to take this thing apart to fix the problem, or is there an easier solution?
2. The OZ saucer shot is spotting letters W,I, without ever being hit. Does that make sense? It's providing the first two letters of Wizard for nothing. I have no idea why? Anyone else? Maybe this is a Jersey Jack question.
Appreciate any help I can get, it's a whole new world for me.
And item 1 sounds like a simple switch adjustment. Go to switch tests to verify its "Red" and carefully adjust the blade gap on the stuck switch till it works correctly. Really shouldn't have to take much if anything apart as these switches are fairly visible from the top side. Switch adjustments are fairly common with most any pinball new or used.
