EATPM - Ball not registering @ end of ball?
« on: January 07, 2013, 06:19:19 PM »
HELP

Just finished putting the legs back on EATPM this afternoon, powered her up and seems after the ball drains the game continues to search for the missing ball??. 3 balls are installed.

I've just checked the switches in the ball trough area. What switch signals the end of the ball?

Go into the switch matrix test & manually activate the trough switches - See if they are registering. Also if it has optos,check them as well.

Make sure all your drop targets are up and all 3 balls are down in the trough
press the red centre button so it stays DOWN, (manual  down, Auto up)
then press the black button that says "advance" once and you should get "MUSIC TEST" on your display
press the red centre button so it stays UP, (manual  down, Auto up)
then press the black button that says "advance" until you get "SWITCH LEVELS"

when you have switch "SWITCH LEVELS" in the display it will scroll through all the switches that are registering as closed.

press the black button that says "advance" one more time and you will get "SWITCH EDGES"
when ever you close a switch it will show up on the display.

I am happy to show you how when i have finished the repairs on your Stern cpu and you come and pick it up or you can drop around any time and i will show you on one of my system 11B machines

Ok just updating my progress,

Went to jaycar this morning and picked up 3 new micro switches. They had the small blades on them. Managed to swap over one long blade from the damaged switch.

Tip it always pays to replace these switches as the ball trough area is high traffic.

Just need the smaller switch for the ball eject, looks to be the same size as the blade switches on the ramps?

Question, does Greg at RTBB stock these? !@#

Thanks in advance.

Just looked up the parts numbers in the manual

Monster slide micro switch part number is 5647-12073-11

Ball trough micro switch is part number 5647-12073-08

Are these switches available here in Australia??? just had a quick look on Gregs site and part numbers not matching  !@#

Can any AP member help me find these micro switches? HELP  @@^

Thanks in advance
