All Activity Problems Logs Parts

Patched wood, replaced screw

Closed Problem: Left flipper is misaligned (or right flipper, not sure which is correct)

Wire came loose on the solenoid, soldered it back.

Closed Problem: Right flipper is unresponsive

Screws have ripped/ stripped out the holes attaching it to the playfield on one of the brackets that holds the left solenoid in place. Easy fix with wood epoxy, but i didnt want to take the game down during business to fix a minor issue

Closed problem report

Closed Problem: Ball not loading

Found broken solder joint on the 10s score reel. Resoldered. Attached before and after photos

Closed Problem: the hundreds place in the score won’t change when it gets increased from the tens place. like if you have 60 points and get the 50 points thing, it’ll increase but give you 10, not 110

Playfield is clean! Elastics looked good so did not replace.

Closed problem report

Closed Problem: Hundreds place score reel out of alignment

Took reel out, wiggled things a bit, put it back in, now works, at least for a game. Not sure why it’s better. If it happens again, it’s worth digging in to see what can get out of alignment. It may be the sign of a worn component on this reel.

Closed Problem: Hundreds place score reel out of alignment

Realigned the score reel mechanism itself; but now the wheel needs to be adjusted vertically
