Title: Atari Superman
Post by: Regory000 on February 19, 2017, 06:58:42 PM

Hi all, I have an Atari Superman machine, when plugged in it all lights up and the flippers work, but that's it.
Can anyone suggest a possible cause, and better still a solution.
I'm new to pinballs and feeling my way at the moment, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Was this in the back of a ute travelling through Eltham last week (or week before)??

They are not an overly common machine.  Both Daniel and Nino have experience with these so may be able to help.
Have you a digital multimeter and any level of electronic experience?  If not might pay to get a pro to get it running then you can tinker with the rest.

Unfortunately, no multimeter and very little experience.
Will ring a couple of pros and see what they think, I suspect it's got something to do with the coin mechanism.
Nowhere near Eltham, was in a trailer today at Penrith, NSW.
