Hi all, I just acquired my first Zaccaria, Farfalla...

Im having some trouble, seems some of the wiring on the coin door is misplaced, which I can correct looking at the schematics.

But, I may need some help here... the start button; when pressed will not start a game, the programming actually goes to the diagnostic menu when the start button is pressed.

I can coin up the machine no problem shorting out the correct coin wires that are disconnected.

The service switch when pressed: a sound "let's see what you can do" plays and the game I believe starts, but no ball is shot into the shooter lane.

When I press the Start button; I can cycle through all of the settings and get to a solenoid test and everything works; including the outhole solenoid that shoots a ball to the shooter lane.

any help please?

also; can someone please post pictures detailing the coin door wiring to help me push this along maybe a little quicker?

Thanks guys, excited to finally be part of the club!

No, the dip is off

Is the outhole switch supposed to be normally closed? Like this?....

Sweet man, the ball actuates the switch just fine, the wiring is my issue

The way the switch is wired makes the switch “normally on”. Then the ball actuates it and switches the switch off

Need to see if the wiring is correct

I’m finding several broken wires and switch contact issues on mine that I’ve been repairing today.

I’m still plugging away, I believe IC38 is having an issue, there’s a whole row of switches not functioning but all the connections a ohm out just fine, I’ve got one (CA3081) on order

I could really use a photo of the wiring of the outhole switch, or if anyone has a set of restore photos of the underside of the playfield... please

I agree

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hey all,

I have 2 issues I need some help with on Farfalla please.

1. I’m having sound issues. The speech at the end of sound test works, there’s only one sound effect that works (the rollover lane at the top of the playfield). No other sound effects work, if at all they are very momentary. I replaced the capacitors on the sound board, no change other than it took the buzz out of the speakers. I also reflowed the connector pins and the pot pins on the board.

2. I’ve also got the lower pop bumper frying it’s transistor... I’m going to replace the coil which seems burnt and crusty with the Bally/Williams equivalent. I’ll replace the transistor, resistor, and coil and diode and try again, unless anyone has a suggestion of anything else I need to do.

Thank you guys

If someone has the American insert to Farfalla, I’d like to buy it, the one with the girl with a dress on

Hey guys I need a little help with Farfalla, I have everything working except sound, I get voice and a couple of sound effects and that’s it. Where do I start looking?

I have installed brand new roms.

Capacitors replaced and connectors and pots solder reflowed on the back of the sound board. ( reflowing one of the pots stopped a hum in the sound from a cold solder joint )

Pots adjusted over and over with no change

Pots adjusted per the manual as well

95% of the Sounds do not work in sound test

Same sounds that do work in sound test also work in game, maybe 2 sound effects work and the voice sound effects all work to my knowledge.

All of the settings gone through and adjusted one by one, and double checked afterward. Successful adjustment save .

Thank you!

I’d like an American insert if anyone has one to sell

Hey guys, my Farfalla is having volume issues. The volume is cutting in and out; I suspect the volume pot inside the coin door is suspect. As I have sent my boards off to be repaired because of sound issues. Does anyone know which pot I need to purchase for the volume control inside the coin door?

Yessir, sure did, been working on this game for a few months

Thank you, I’ll dig in to that
