I got my black knight working. This is an Build your own arcade forum and pins were in arcades. (too many liberties? ;D) Anyway, what is wrong? |

The problem I was having was with a Playboy 35th anniversary pinball machine(made by Data East). Everything was working fine at first but now the bumpers do not work. From my limited knowledge I understand that when the ball hits the bumper it closes the contact on a leaf switch which sends a signal to the cpu board which in turn tells the coil to fire. The coils have a power line running to them which I am guessing is always hot and the control line on the coil goes to the cpu board. Since all five of the bumper coils aren't working I thought maybe it had something to do with power wire going to these coils, but I really don't have a clue and I was looking for some advice. Thanks |

Do you have a multimeter? Check your fuses. I finally made this my first check point. I kept checking boards and it almost always came down to a fuse. |

With a problem like that, I'm sure going to the Marvin3m site will get you going in no time. |

No doubt. Marvins site was a God send. I have a 2 inch binder at the house that is a encyclopedia of system 7 workings. |
