bottom end of the Gold Coast would be the Southern end, opposed to the Northern end, me thinks


nice one with the new Playfield Tilt, after sales service seems pretty good

Same issue I had with bell opto and fixed by tech - i wouldnt have a clue!
New playfield being sent out! Awesome!

Is it the bare PF or a straight swap with PF bits on it?

They are sending a replacement opto board.
the original is repairable if you have a steady hand great eye sight (or good magnification)  and the right equipment.

update on the bell opto board. the customer received the new opto board, the customer fitted it and it lasted one game and it died again only this time only the bell wouldn't work and no other switches were locked on.

so another one was sent and i fitted it after checking the machine over for any shorts or problems in the switch matrix and no sign of any problems.  !@#

I have ordered some replacement mosfets for the opto board to replace the 2 faulty ones. so the customer will have a couple of spare bell opto boards.

Is it a members machine?

Seems to be having a bad run unfortunately.

Have they contacted the Stern agent for a tech to attend rather than having to pay for repairs / tech hours out of their pocket?
