Nino,
I do have a brand new solenoid driver board, but some re-pinning of connectors needs to happen before that goes in.
Possibly a job for this weekend.

Just swap them to prove the fault is not with the board. Only take 10 minutes and then return the original.

The game has some serious wiring issues that need to be addressed before the mew board can be safely installed.
Will keep you updated

If the machine has serious wiring issues, why are you trying to fix a specific problem first @.@

Youre right.
Thought id give the easy things a go first.

When i say serious wiring issues i'm talking about wires soldered directly to pins and boards, so i cant exactly swap boards over without doing the repinning.

I guess it was worth a shot trying these small fixes, its highlighted the issue is probably with the boards.

I just helped Shaneo with his Princess a.while.back. If you need a schematic then a Meteor is very close and may help. Z

You need to get back to basics.
Sort all the wiring issues out first before trying to sort out fine tuning type issues.
The temptation is always there to get things roughly going quickly but sometimes it can bite you hard and stuff something up.
