i have a problem i fired it up the transformer was really humming away the chime unit went ding at the start then after a while the transformer went a bit harder then it made a sound like it was tripping and it stopped i checked all the fuses and they were fine also nothing else happend while the transformer was going i do not know what is wrong now is the transformer stuffed

No - most likely not.

The "ding" means there is a stuck switch on the playfield, or the 100 or 1000 point relay is activated. When you start a game on, do you see any points scored ?

[coolspot]

no and player 1 up is on and ball number 4 is on the transformer is not making a sound

Are all the fuses the right value ?

Sounds like the line fuse has blown...

its all good now but got one problem game will not credit

[Strangeways]

Right - sounds good mate.. No credits..

Two ways to look at this. This is basically a Williams Machine, and they can have a problem whereby the coin switch arm gets caught at the bottom of it's travel. So check in your coin door to see if they both moving freely. Check that the contacts are making contact, and then try to give the game some credits...

Other way is to turn the game off, and advance the "Credit" wheel by moving the plunger...

Switch the game on, press the start button..

Report back when done !

Parts should be easy to find - Your machine is a rebadged williams EM.

When you insert 20c, the game starts straight away - no credit is added. Credit is used when you WIN games..
