Roadshow dozer blade problem

[63wizz]

I am having problems with the dozer blade not lifting to shoot teds mouth for multiball, the blade lifts the first time but if that ball drains before shooting teds mouth, the blade does not lift for the next ball, but the machine still is waiting for me to shoot teds mouth for multiball.

So i have new chips in U22 (proper roadshow security chip) and U6 latest rom, replacing these made no difference.

Today i have replaced a few components on the opto board and motor control board, no difference.

but i have noticed a board i could not find in the manual under my machine, turns out that the machine has been hacked
and looking at pictures of the dozer blade mech, none of it is original.

what i thought was the motor is an solenoid of some sort, and the motor holding bracket is made up to suit the new motor/solenoid,
and the extra component board is driving the new motor/solenoid to operate teds blade, but there is a bug there somewhere.

has any one wrecked a roadshow and has the dozer blade hardware and motor, as i want to put it back to original.

I bought all new parts locally to put this mod back to original.
New motor new cam wheel and a new bracket to mount the motor on.
Installed al parts tonight and Ted is working normal again.
At least the mod to make Teds blade work is better than nothing,
But the game plays better now with all the original parts.
Maybe the original parts were not available back when it was modded.

good to see that you sorted it out.
I didn't think that the patch was a problem but wasn't 100% sure.
