ROAD KINGS problems [Next step: Drop target]

<< < (3/9) > >>

RayB:
I think i know what I did wrong. Is there somewhere on the net with high res photos of these boards (specific revisions, not just a general example). There's a spot where I thought I had burnt off the bit of trace, so I reconstructed it. I think that may be where I went wrong and it shouldn't have been bridged. Reading the schems and comparing to the board is difficult.

RayB:
I removed the erroneous " trace" and now it took a full 2 or 3 seconds before F1 blew. Progress or coincidence?  :'(

RayB:
F it. I hooked up everything BUT the displays and the game works, and is fully playable. I just don't know what my score is.  ;D

At first it was quite disappointing because the lights werent flashing and trying to start a game made a sputtering "can't start the engine" noise. I realized a few minutes later it was missing ball #2. Added that and I was good to go.

There's miscellaneous things to look at like one pop bumper isnt triggering, some lights are out on playfield as well as up in the back glass, and the detour drop target is down the whole time.


As for the game itself. It's not bad. It's no High Speed, but it has a few interesting features.

So, is a Rotten Dog power board worth it?

Pinball Wizard:
I talked to the guy from Rottendog before and he seems really nice and he seems to back the product like it's quality but I have heard that the boards don't last more than 6 months.

How do you like the background music on Road Kings? Anything like the High Speed background sound?

kastawaykid:
I also have a Road Kings which had Power supply problems. I replaced with the supply with a Rottendog supply and was really unhappy (lots of Hum that I could not get rid of). Kept it for about a week and ended up repairing the original power supply and selling the Rottendog on EPay. I would stick with an original, just like Jim said.
