Gottlieb System 1 Pinball. Hulk.
« on: February 10, 2012, 09:29:16 PM »
The 3th digit on 1st player score and the 4th digit on 3rd player score do not light up.  Is it a connecotr problem or to do with display unit? Any ideas on how to fix it or what to look for?

With the game switched off, you can switch the displays around to see if the fault follows the displays. I think it is a display issue, but swapping them will confirm.

Thanks for the advice. Very helpful. It was a connector issue. As once swapped, they all worked. Swapped them back and now they work. The more I tinker or find faults, the more I realise the connectors seem to cause many erradicate or impromptu faults.

Thanks again

Very important - make sure the earth mods have been done on this game BEFORE it is switched on again. If they haven't, DON'T turn it on as you will posssibly cause massive damage - possibly uneconomical to repair damage .….. a friends Hulk suffered this fate and now it needs too much work to make it worth fixing - stuffed CPU board etc etc..........all for a few wires and solder joins.
