Re: Indy - Idol ball drop door problem

Could be a lot of things at this stage:

What is it actually doing? Rotating around, making the "elephant" sound and then no ball coming out? not rotating at all? ignoring the idol and serving the ball from the plunger instead?

1 - does the door slide down easily by hand and not bind?
2 - does the door activate properly in the solenoid test?
3 - is the idol tightened onto the shaft properly, with the set screw lined up on the flat of the shaft (you will need a long allen key to reach that bugger, and via the drop down door!)
4 - does the test menu "idol test" work OK (the machine needs to know where the idol is to open the door at the right time)


Cheers

The idol spins like it should Jacob.It makes the elephant noise but the door doesn't drop. It seems to be an intermittent problem too . Sometimes works . Sometimes doesn't .Just went and had a few games and got the 3 balls locked . Multi-ball started and the first ball came out like it should but the 2nd and 3rd ones wouldn't .
The door slides down easily by hand ( that's how I've been getting the balls out) . Haven't had a chance to check out the test menu but will try that .
Was thinking it may be a problem with the main trough optos ( ie. it loses track of how many balls are on the PF ) . Could this be the case too .
I'm sure I'll get it sorted easily but just not familiar with the inner workings of this pin yet.


OK OK Greg . I'm working on it . I'll upload them now.
