bought new servo,plug pin out seems different red pin2 centre.servo driver board is getting its 5vdc,how can i test if the clock,data,enable is working?board does the required flashes see pics below.p.s. i have a lcd oscilloscope,but havent used it before,please help,damien

[beaky]

the replacement servos do have the pin config incorrect. red goes to pin 3 (+5), black to pin 2 (ground), and the other colour to pin 1 (cant remember if its white or blue_
make sure its plugged into servo 1 ( I will conform this with brett I cant remember if it was servo 1 or 4, it will only work on 1 of the plugs)

thanks andrew,if i plugged it in wrong could i have damaged something?i now have it p[lugged in as you descibe and it still wont work.plus i do not know when it is supposed to work.

[studley67]

the other color on my new ones is blue.i guess i have fried it now..lucky i bought 2.please confirm red pin 3,black pin 2,blue pin1

Plugging it in wont hurt the machine, maybe just the servo. 

Do u want me to take a photo of mine which works fine.

[studley67]

thanks brett,only if it is a replacement servo,ie wire colors red/black/blue..other way you can help is when does the head move?

[Caveoftreasures]

Head moves all the time during gameplay, from side to side. Let me go out right now, lift the glass n check it out for you. Back in 10 mins.

Update - the configuration for the servo is as follows. The wires that are connecting on the servo plug to the small board on the machine are-
far left wire is red
middle wire is black
far right wire is blue
the plug is plugged into the far left servo plug. (note, the board is upside down when u lift the playfield, so its on the right side with the writing upside down, or left side with the writing not upside down if that makes sense). * mine is a replacement servo i believe. i had several new ones from new radio controlled aircraft spare stuff).

thanks brett,

[studley67]

thanks for the photo brett,i also have a new servo but did not realise the wiring was different.i may have cooked it,lucky i bought 2.will try the other one tommorow and let you know the outcome,damien.ps what is your highest score,i cant even get 900,000

[Caveoftreasures]

Your scores might depend on how u have the machine set up in menu options and what roms u are running. Mine is set factory std. Roms ? Prob the latest.
My FRANKENSTEIN is a Australian delivered one owner. I was very lucky to stumble accross it. Has had low usage.

It can be a fun to play somedays, and a mongrel the next. Not sure on what my highest score is. Will see what i can get next. 

[studley67]

mine is eurotrash,but cheap,in good con,when its finished

[beaky]

I had bretts wired incorrectly at first, even the replacements that come from marco's come incorrectly wired. after i corrected the wiring it still worked fine.
just take notice of which plug the one in brett's is connected to as it will only work on that plug (servo1)

[studley67]

  success guys and a big thanks.all fixed,the second servo i bought worked with the wiring changed.i cooked the first one.

the head moving is quite spooky.lol and cool.

[pinnies4me]

Congrats, great feeling when you solve something like that.

FRANKENSTEIN is a busy little bastard during gameplay isnt he.  He never stops shaking his bloody head. 

Happy Franky is back to his usual self.
