Pinball Space Odysey, flippers don't work?

[squirrellydw]

My friend has a Space Odysey Pinball machine and it powers on but the flippers don't work, any idea what it might be and how to fix it?

[Nephasth]

Driver transistor? Faulty Wiring? Dirty switch contacts?

[squirrellydw]

What and where is the driver transistor?  No fuse or anything?

[Nephasth]

Do you have a manual?

[squirrellydw]

Nope

Space Odyssey is a 2 player version of the 4 player space mission so any circuit diagrams of space mission should be helpful.

Attached is a link to Williams general PB troubleshooting guide for machines around that time.

Here is the EM guide since 76 is just around the time that the systems changed

and part of a Space Mission circuit drawing (Looks like an EM machine) so ignore the System 3 to 7 manual
The flipper circuits are in the last 2 pieces of the PDF

There may actually be a fuse on the underside of the playfield near the back.  Check that first.  I forget if Space Odyssey would have one but I've seen games with that blown and it's hard to find if you didn't expect its presence.
