Title: [Help] Judge Dredd Pinball - both flippers stopped working
Post by: jspicher on July 11, 2013, 11:25:53 pm

So l recently moved. And l'm finally getting around to setting up my game room in the new house. The flippers on my Judge Dredd pinball both went out on me. Does anyone know what may be the culprit?

Here is a quick video l've shot of what's going on:

If anyone can tell me what or where to test/check to resolve this, it would be greatly appertained.

Check the connectors at the flipper switch OPTO boards..

If one of them is off none of the flipper switchess will work.

Thanks so much for the reply.
I've already checked these for secure connection -- but l'll check them and test again.

Check for +12V at pins 6 and 7 of the flipper opto switch boards.

Also investigate that 'trough 1' switch error....

Since this game has been moved...check that all of the ribbon cables are fully seated too.

Don't just LOOK at them..PUSH on them...

Hi guys,

Still no go. I have a buddy helping me out. He traced all of the wires back and made sure all connections were good.
Then we popped the fliptronic II board into one of his machines and it works good. So our next thought was that perhaps one of the two flipper opto's is having trouble.
