Fathom pinball
« on: July 04, 2011, 05:02:13 PM »
Help , At the start of every new game and only on the first ball ,when the ball rolls over the A B C lanes the "Shoot again" light appears and you get an extra ball. Is it something in the dip switch settings or something else. Also with the sqwark and talk board, in the test mode it has quiet a few different sayings including a sinister type of laugh.Havent heard the laugh during game play or is it just in the test mode. Thanks in advance .

A strange issue I have not come across. I don't think it is a dip switch setting. I'd reseat the connectors to the MPU and reseat the PIAs and Eproms. I assume you have three balls in the game ?

There's a few saying in the game that depend on the captive ball and multiball. General play just has the "Sea Nymphs await", "aaaahh" and "Dive Again". The wicked laugh ? You will just have to play out a mutliball game !

Can you take the playfield glass off, and then 'finger' the targets (or whatever triggers multiball) to hear the evil laugh?

Otherwise you'll be playing for ages trying get multiball....
