Skee Ball
I moved nine balls back into the proper lanes. I also found nickels in the coin mech again. Air Hockey The part I ordered for the table came in and I went to install it. I noticed that the part is slightly different but I took the time to verify that it would work but look different. Since I tried to do this on a weekend, I couldn't check with the company before I installed it. I called the company and they verified that the part is indeed different and that is all that is available. I need to make another trip back and install this part. Golden Tee Complete I found the game booting into a diagnostic menu screen that I hadn't seen before. Rebooting the game didn't help. I eventually noticed that several of the buttons were coated in something sticky and the start button was stuck down. I pulled it apart and cleaned the sticky off the plastic part of the button. I had to replace the switch itself as it was also sticky. After putting it back together, the game booted and worked fine. Hot Shots I found a coin jam in the one slot. I found a piece of cardboard and a ticket were the root cause of the jam. Cleared it up and the game was accepting coins once again. Ticket Eater It wasn't accepting tickets, the motor wouldn't start when a ticket was inserted. The red LED wasn't lit either, I cleaned the LED and it worked better but I couldn't get the rear LED to ever light. The eater was working but I needed to order some paper for it anyways, so I ordered some of the sensors. I will replace them next trip to the location. Skee Ball
Moved nine balls back into the proper lanes. Drill O Matic It was making the jackpot noise and not running otherwise. I opened it up and found that the tickets were empty. I did the usual reseat of the connectors and the game came back up as usual. It would appear that the game dumped out a few thousand tickets. It is on my list of game to replace. Jurassic Park III The player one gun didn't seem to be working properly. I didn't have any replacements along and I was out of time, so I let it slide for now. As I was leaving the location I found a couple of kids trying to yank the guns off the game. I politely asked them not to do that unless they feel like paying for the repairs. The Pennies and Nickels in the coin slot problem continues at this location. I'm not sure what to do about it. Perhaps a stakeout? Game Delivery I pulled out Sportstation and replaced it with an older Golden Tee game that I had in the shop. Those Golden Tee cabinets get heavier every time I move them. The delivery went well and other than almost dropping Sportstation off the lift uneventful. Western Train
No doubt about it now, the motor that I replaced is not working right. I will have to order another one in. Sonic and Tales I noticed that several of the lights around the ring were out. There was one or two that I noticed in the past week or so but now that the group of them failed I replaced them all. I replaced around seven of the bulbs and I need to order more. These bulbs tend to fail in large groups. It makes sense as they are all the same age and have the same amount of use on them. But it is still weird to see it happen. Skee Ball Moved four balls back into the proper lanes. Air Hockey The puck return plate was knocked loose again. I put it back on yet again. I finally ordered a replacement for it. $119 + shipping. I am hoping that once I have the old one in my hands I can find someone to weld or braze the return plate on so I won't have to buy one for the other end. I suspect that there is a reason why they are riveted on in the first place that I will find out. Evolution Megatouch The complaint was that it was locking up occasionally. I have it in the shop and found that it only occasionally locks up in one specific game at one specific point. It happens at the end of the Funkier Monkey game when the scores are being tabulated. The hard drive passes all the tests I can through at it and the file check does not find any errors. I truly think that there is a bug in the software. It took countless hours of play by several people to find when it happens. Sportstation It was doing the constant reset and reboot that usually happens when the hard drive is failing. I rebooted it and it did come back up but I am going to pull the game from the location and replace it with something else. It has reached the point where the boards in the game are worth more than the game is whole so I am going to strip the board and monitor and dump the cabinet. Hot Shots I found the game with an out of order sign on it. I played several games on it and the game worked fine for me. I think what happens is that people don't bother reading the instructions and when the ball doesn't serve by itself they think it is broken. |
