| hDANG02:
I have a pretty old skeeball machine. Not sure how old it is, but it has 3 boards, 1 fuse and 1 toggle switch (acts like a reset switch since it turns on and off). Back story...it was working fine, seems like the ticket dispenser was disabled as I was able to play without tickets dispensing. After a while, the boards got knocked loose, i thought the machine broke so i didn't mess with it for years. Decided to plug it in recently to investigate, found out that the boards were loose so i plugged them all back in. It looked like it was resetting when I toggled the reset switch. It was counting 0 to 9, then the game over/new game was flashing. I hit the coin switch, ball would dropped and it would work. However, once i hit 150 points, the ticket dispenser makes a little rattle noise, then i noticed the ball counter went away, It would continue to keep score until I ran out of balls. It doesn't show game over. When i hit the coin switch, the score would reset to 0, but the balls won't drop to start a new game. I think because the ticket dispenser is not working, it's not allowing me to start a new game. If i reset the machine, i can play again until i hit 150, the ticket dispenser would make a rattle noise get stuck again. I read through some threads about dip swicthes, but it doesn't appear the boards i have has any. there's also a small toggle switch near the ticket dispenser, but it appears to be disconnected. My question is how do I program if the boards doesn't have dip switches? I like to get it back to where the ticket is disabled. How do i test the dispenser? I attached photos of the boards and where the ticket dispenser is. Hope someone with some experience can help me troubleshoot this bad boy. Thanks! |
