Flaky Switches?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Lloyd Olson:
They can be checked in switch edge test. In that test hit the switch and make sure the right one reports on the screen.

Flaky can be as simple as needing adjusting so a ball triggers it, to the connector to the board is loose.

You can put a meter on the switch with the game turned off and verify if the switch works.

On this new of a game, most problems will just be adjusting the switch so the ball triggers it.

Does your reference to "adjusting the switch" mean bending the metal rollovers?
Thx

Lloyd Olson:
Depending on where the switch is. The micro minis - some can be loosened and the switch body moved up or down. Some you need to adjust the wire part the ball rolls over. Those you want to make any adjustments past the body of the switch, so you don't effect the part that pushes the plastic knob into the switch body. And check them after an adjustment in switch edge test. To be sure they work, and aren't too high or something and trap the ball.

A little tweaking and anyone can learn the fine art of switch adjusting.

I'd also like to add that when checking switches, check with a ball.  Using your fingers and listening/feeling for that 'click' can yield deceptive results at times. 

Cam:
Thanks for the responses... I've had to make various adjustments to my old High Speed over the years but not to my new HUO ones... Been lucky I guess... I think this is a good art for all collectors to know so they can keep their machines in fine working order, but I am not proficient at it... I am just hoping Lloyd you can please pass some of that "fine art" along to whomever is testing these wonderful machines before they are shipped.
Thx!
Cam
