Gottlieb Spin Out keeps scoring 1000
« on: December 18, 2012, 01:36:53 PM »
Was working on cleaning my Spin Out tonight when all of a sudden it starts automatically adding 1000 to the score. Never had this before. It just repeatedly counts 1000 till I shut it off. I was cleaning around the roto spin but have checked multiple times to see if something got bent etc.

Trying to figure out which switch. Makes no sense that this would happen while cleaning the roto unit. I was being careful too. I know the top centre switch is 1000 and the kickout is 1000. Not sure beyond that.

Determine which switches score 1000 and lift the rubbers from all. Turn game on and see if it still keeps scoring.. check switches, if stopped when rubbers are lifted then replace one by one

Got it.

One solder joint on the roto unit had a small piece of wire sticking out from it that was just, and I mean just ,touching the terminal beside it. I must have knocked the two terminals and associated solder joints just a hair closer than they were.

Thanks for the help
