I was wondering if anyone advice for an problem with my magnet opto and files cabinet opto. When I bought the machine the magnet opto was busted so I replaced it recently, but when I go into diagnostics it shows that both optos are stuck closed. I haven't got either to activate since I bought the machine a few weeks ago. Any ideas?

By their nature when the game is on optos are closed.

If they don't open when a ball goes by, then figure out why. Wrong optos ? Not wired in right ? Incorrect voltage ?

A little digging should help you sort it out.
