If you've never seen the machine play how do you know what's normal?

ChadTower:

I have had this issue before when rehabbing games.  Sometimes it's a little tricky, when you're new to the process, to rehab a game if you've never played it.  After a while you learn to read the mechanical parts of the game to see what it should be doing.  TopJimmyCooks alluded to that when he asked if those bumpers have solenoids.

It gets trickier when you run into software behaviours and can't tell if that's right.  Laser Cue was a tough one for me that way.  There are a lot of drop targets that have software adjustable behaviours and it took me a while to understand that what I was seeing was an adjustment rather than a logic failure.

Toadie:
That is so true, plus I'm tackling a bunch of different issues so I'm not sure if things are electrical or supposed to work that way.

gtxjoe:
You can also find videos at pinball.org

Here is Space Invaders http://pinball.org/videos/gameplay-videos/space-invaders/

PL1:
Another tool to help you sort out the triggers and behaviors of the various modes is a good rulesheet.

Don't see one for Space Invaders, other than section IV (pgs 7-8) of the manual.   :dunno
