Wow! Keep up the great work folks!

Thanks Drano, Working on a bank of drop targets not working out of the blue! I think it may be on the driver board. As I read somewhere " system 80 it's an adventure". No kidding!

Update, located,tested and replaced the transistor located close to the ball trough all alone. Odd I thought! Anyway ramp is working! My first tech repair!!!! A few pictures of the culprit in case anyone else has the same issue. Note, replaced transistor #2N5884 as a substitute for original...

Thanks for sharing.

It does seem to help. Thanks for the tip! CAUTION!!!! Watch your glass! When I took my lockdown bar off to do some play field cleaning I barely caught my glass as it flew out of there like a rocket!!!!! Very awkward trying to catch a rocket with one hand!

Hi, my name is Mike and I think I am a pinball addict! My addiction started a long time ago, probably before most of you where born. It materialized into physical form just last year, June 2017. I now have turned my house garage into a games room. Three pinball machines one arcade (mame) hockey...

Did the ground mods. Took care of two smaller issues ie: speaker static and occasional display not working. Found some info on pinside regarding suspect transistor under play field. I did some testing and this may be the problem. I am waiting on a replacement transistor . Will post how it all goes.

The pictures!

Hey Folks, when my "Monte Carlo" pin is off the ramp is in the down position and when the pin is turned on it goes to the up position. I have tried everything I can think of in game play to get it to work with no success. The coil is warm/hot after I play so I'm guessing it's not supposed to be...

Quick update, switches are good. With the wheel there is always a closed switch. Which ever one the ball is resting on! DUH moment! If you can let me know which board it was(location), I'll focus on that. Thanks

I wasn't really sure which driver board so I pulled the main one in the back box tested Q8 and all transistors in the area. Everything seems ok. Also pulled the aux lamp driver board under the playfield with the same results. Switch test is showing #12 is closed it is located on the spin a ball...

Great! Thanks for the help!

WOW!!!! What was that!!??

Hey Mike , I am having the exact same problem. Can you let me know how you fixed it!? I am fairly new with this hobby (addiction) but if you can make It as simple as possible I'm sure I will get it. Thanks in advance!

I would be interested in two.

Really good point! Slow and steady. I have had a really good response from friends and family. I'll continue to encourage them! Thanks

Hey Folks, I am fairly new to the site and as a pinball owner. I purchased my first machine approx six months ago and was immediately hooked. I have purchased three more and currently have three in my collection and still looking, (wife is really questioning my sanity). The issue is, pinball is...

Thanks! Really appreciate the help! I am new to the pinball scene and I really enjoy this machine! Hopefully something will surface!
