Pinball Machine: Space Shuttle (Williams)

[j0hn]

This is the first place I found when searching the internet, I'd like to first off start by saying I don't know much about the insides/etc of pinball machines, but I've got a Spaceball Pinball Machine I'd like to fix thats been on the brink for years.


I tried running the diagnostics on it, had lights blinking all over, had the flippers working, but it seems whenever I try to get it into the "Game start Mode" or whatever, it just won't work when I hit the start/use credit button. I can see the score at 00, I can see the credits raise when I hit toggle the credit/quarter button as well as hear the sound. Maybe there is something I'm not doing right or forgetting, or maybe there is something on the board that needs replaced. It seems like there is a lot of stuff inside the machine and I wouldn't know where to start looking. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated, I've got the manual and can take pictures inside, if I came to the wrong place to ask I'm sorry, any direction to where I can or should go would also be appreciated... thanks in advance I really want this working and really need some help

Mmmmm, sounds about as reliable as the real Space Shuttle these days.....

Space Shuttle is a "System 9" game, this is covered here:
