Harley Davidson UP/Down motor problem

[pinballheaven]

Guys,

I have just replaced the up/down motor in my harley machine but it seems the ol motor was ok? What happens is when the motor is activated it seems to vibrate and struggle and I get the operater error #19 motor coil malfunction. For those not familar with the game a harley goes up/down on the playfield an catches balls for multiball etc. Any assistance woul be much appreciated. Kind regards, Jeff

we had a simular problem with a customers machine on thursday , does yours also lock the ball in and not return it till the next ball starts ?   
check the membrane   , we have these on order as of yesterday with our next load of Stern parts , if there is a small break  this should be the problem ..


yea guys  I am doing some repairs now .. even with 3 full time techs  ( plus Damien) I am doing service calls and small fixes

Mark,

Thanks for the reply, I don't think it's the membrane but it has got me perplexed as to what it could be. It works sometimes and then during a game the operator alert comes up and it stops and with usually the vibration it will start again. It is really annoying and is driving me crazy though!!

does it also re set ?   check to see if you have a small break , it could be very hard to see

Mark, I am not sure what you mean by reset but whatever it is, it is really annoying! When will you be getting the membranes in from Stern as I will have to replace it to see if that is what the problem is. Regards Jeff
