Possiblement un problème de détection des switches Special Solenoids pour les slings et un pop bumper. Regarde si le connecteur P18 est bien branché dans J18 sur le MPU en premier. Issue peut être avec le filage mais aussi avec une composante sur le board. Pour le shield qui ne redescend pas, il fau ...

Now the game doesn't stop, no game over and was just kicking out balls and advancing into the void. so I checked the usual suspects and now game still doesn't end when I activate the ball trough but instead of kicking out the ball it gives a replay and spins the motor. Heavy sigh..... I would check ...

Question.....should the coil be getting power even though the game is turned off? I don't mean it's activating, but twice now I've gotten a little "love ya' Bruce" from the power tabs, even though the game is shut off. Been unplugging it now when I reach in....🤔 Should not, unless the ground prong h ...

Can you take a picture of the start button switch inside the cash door/cabinet? Just in-case someone wired an extra non-factory switch to it to simulate a coin drop while pressing the start button... Google AI indicates the following - although the Coin Unit is usually located in the cabinet and not ...

Sold and gone to a good home.
Thank you

Thanks. PM replied

Bump

Price drop - Now $495 firm. Need the space

Sold and gone to a good home. Thank you 1954 Gottlieb Gold Star woodrail pinball machine. Works, has Double feature, original backbox cover and coin acceptor. Has original non-tempered playfield glass. Machine set to free-play. Backglass has significant paint flakes or missing. No locks or keys ...

Does the machine add points on its own while you are playing? If so there could be a stuck switch.
Same issue if you disconnect the playfield to cabinet and cashdoor to bottom board Jones plugs?

Also make sure the score motor 'park' position (I think it is switch 1C) properly opens at every 1/3 turn when cam is in its notch.
I assume you already/also checked that the coin switches are not stuck closed inside the cash door

Score motor continuously running indicates a stepper or contact not at its expected 'resting' position. Does the score motor stop if the head's Jones connectors are disconnected? If yes, Cait001's 'AX' might be a possibility - or a relay unlatching it. This older Mr.Pinball Startup Tip might help ...

Thanks Guard for having confirmed !

Looking at the manual, there is no wire connection to that 'switch' on that bottom right gate assembly. The top center rollover appears to control the gate ('Opens Gate when lit'). I assume Bally reused that assembly from another older machine that needed the switch - the 'unused' switch might also ...

Nice fun Quiz, thanks!

Bravo to all who contributed to this !

I do have a question for y'all... 20250115_153334.jpg What the ever lovin' is the function of this thing? It is hooked to main power feed. What's it's ultimate purpose? Maybe a kick-off, or a slam or anti-cheat switch to stop the game if the front of the game is lifted and dropped to the floor ...

Thanks Alex, it was nice meeting you in person today ! Just to add a few details to this post in case anyone wonders: I had only about an hour or so to visit. The main issues found and addressed on the machine today were: - gummed-up ratchet on the ball/player unit in the cabinet that was preventing ...

What... no one mentioned Pinball Wizard by The Who, Elton John, or other covers?

Splendide en effet, Bravo!

I got asked to present at Pinball Expo 40 and I've finally solidified that and booked my flight and hotel. Spending over $1k to go give a presentation on pinball ancestry is totally on brand for this absurd and delightful hobby! :) I'm getting super hyped to experience Expo for the first time, and ...

Did the speech ever work since you have the game?

Bonne chance!

I do not have the Arena game manual, however the 1986 Gold Wings manual (another System 80B game)
indicates the following for the MPU switch 6: Bonne chance!
