Add me to the club ! Getting ready to tear her down for a refurb. I’ll add some photos later hopefully !
Ok, hopefully someone here can help me. Got the Road Kings all cleaned up and working great. New bulbs, rubber, shooter, etc - what a difference! I can send a video, if I knew how to get it on here? Just to show the lights and more importantly the sounds. (and voices)
1) My sounds/music seems more like 21st Century "Devo"? ( I had seen other posts about U2 music, or even Meat Loaf? Is that a mod, or not real?
2) My switch to modulate thru the diagnostics - the middle tab, left hand side on the switch closest to the machine of the 3 (on the coin door, next to the up or down switch) that the white wires solder to had broken off. So I soldered them to the top left hand tab. The machine works now, but it will not allow me to modulate thru the tests. (I hope this all makes sense, I'll attach pics) So, can I reattach another wire to another tab on another switch to get this to work right, or will I need to replace that switch? Can I just replace the single, or is it a triple ? It's playing, I'd just like to have it back 100%
3) This is the actual "issues" part - when I start her up, I get three (3) "knocker" alerts - (Which I take it is the auto diagnostic?) These are all "Adjust Switch" - L Jet Bumper, R Jet Bumper and Left Out lane. What do these mean? I "cleaned" the switch blades on the R&L out lanes, but didn't fix it.
4) I changed the bulbs for the lightning bolts (4 on each) - but I do not see them working. Is there a trigger that makes these come on? (Like getting all ROAD KINGS lit?)
5)The power supply unit has an outlet on the box inside the cab. I bought a light mod kit that goes under the cab (yeah, Red) - can I just plug this kit into that outlet without causing issues on the machine? (That way when you turn it on, it all powers up together)
As always, any & all help is appreciated! Thanks up front!
Found out that once all the targets are hit (road kings) the lightening bolts do work!!!! Yeah! Nice touch.
And once I checked those gates are not activating so it’s probably needing adjustments on those. I’ll update once I find what the issues are
Still need to know about the power outlet and if it’s useful for the low power lights as A mod under the cab ?
And if anyone can “chime “ in on the music part question above (pun intended)
Just need some help on the jet bumpers adjust switch alert. My two outer lane switches are not working. The left side does have a bumper that could knock the ball back into the playfield. It isn’t working. I presume it’s off that side switch. The right side doesn’t have any thing. So didn’t understand the alert. Or how to fix either of these switches if these are in fact the two it’s referring to? Never ending quest huh?
I’ve heard others use a glue gun as the self sticking stuff on the back does not adhere well. But I actually used one of those larger chrome industrial staple guns. The staples are actually large enough to spread accross the led strip without penetrating it. Keeps them in place. The kit I ordered had two strips. 36” long. I put one diag across the bottom and one accross the head. Thought it turned out nice for $50
On other posts I finally (with the help of some excellent Pinsiders!) got her working 100%. So stoked for Christmas !!
