Mate,

 does it have the Lamp PCBs under the PF? If it does it will have a mix of 555 and 44,

if its early Production like mine it will be all 44s

Heres a pic of my power connector j3 on my sound board. Question is is pin 6 12+ (white/grey). On the schematic it doesnt say what voltage it should be. just double checking.

Also a small issue with display. See pic i found a cross wire on the power supply been playing havic with my boards.

Beakys been helping me out big time. His work is amazing another satisfied customer.

I have it working now. But think i have a multi ball issue its throwing out two or three balls into the shoot think ill need top display working first to rectify that...

Fired up the machine today played away. Then two balls jumpeed into the shooter lane. It did this a few times. Also there is a fuse that blows 2.5amp.  See pic. This must control the kick outs once it blows they dont work. Any ideas out there

The fuse issue is still there ran out of 2.5sb fuses was about to do a solnoid test but no fuses left.

With the multi ball problem i reset the machine to factory settings. I then start the game grab the ball and hit a target then drop it through the flippers. I do this till game over. Once the maching finishs its game over sequence it then spits out all the balls into the shooter. Any body have any ideas.

Are the flashers working in the game?

if not sounds like the A/C relay is not working so the machine tries to send power to a flasher but because the A/C relay is not working the power goes to the ball kick out instead
