Hi Ian, yep long time Victory fan, use to play one at a fish and chip shop a while a go, no i dont have schematics for it, i was thinking with the hot weather here in adelaide lately, that it has gone on strike!, thanks for replying, whats your top score on victory (with glass on, haha), cheers lenny

I am finding this game very addictive trying to complete all the check points.
when the ball is locked what do you have to hit to release it.

  when its locked you get the second ball in play, then when you lose it the locked ball should release and remain in play , also i think you can use it as a special on the drain outs on either side, yeah its definatlly addictive , what other games you got, i just got a gottlieb tee'd off from Mark C, hasn't arrived yet, can't wait! am looking for a genie(my all time fav) and a black hole, then when $$$$ and the wife let me a Pin2000 games starwars 1st episode and revenge from mars, had old wedgeheads back in the eighties but sold them, would like a couple of them as well, to get a good overall perspective of how pinballs has evolved, but love the stuff from the eighties and nineties.  @@*cheers Lenny

So this is the right hand kickout?

Check the switch is making (Switch 74), Test 18 is the switch test, in this mode if you hold the kicker acuator down so that the contact is closed, it should show 74 on the display.  If thats Ok check the wires to the coil are still soldered on and havnt come off.  Self test 17 is the soliniod test.  The right kicker is soliniod No 5.  Run this test and see if the kicker operates, its should.  Then report back.

Check fuse 13 is it blown.  Other things to check  on the driver board Q61 and Q62 are for this soliniod do they look damaged? Check plug A3J4 (driver board) pins 6 and 14.   Thse are to soliniod 5.  Unplug and replug connector.  Check transistors Q61 and Q62 with a meter.  Check coil with a meter.

Check CPU A1 J4 plug, pins 8 & 14.  Unlug and replug (reseat) this connector.  This is the switch matrix to Sw74.

Thats about all it could be.  Report back with any findings and I can help further.

Thanks to Ian (63Wizz) for the copy of the manual, so that I can assist.

hi all, have done test on "VIctory" and when checking self test 17, the solenoid for the right kicker #5 doesn't activate, all switches are open, Memory is ok, The game prog gram check shows "prom 1-0635" when tested, is this bad?, have check fuses, but havent gone over all the plugs on the driver boards yet will do that tomorrow, thanks for the procedure,got there eventually! will preform other checks on transistors with meter and the coil.
