GAME: Cirqus Voltaire
SUBJECT: Cirqus Voltaire Adjustment Sheet
The following (5) items should be checked on your "Cirqus Voltaire" game. These adjustments or "tweaks" may need to be performed at some time to ensure highest playability and longtime earnings.
The adjustments are:
1) Possible Ball Hang-up on Plastic in front of Display
The ball may sit on top of the upper left playfield plastic, between the display
panel and the upper left ballguide. To remedy this remove the #8 wood screw holding the
ballguide down and replace it with a #8 screw (pn #4108-01115-26) & plastic post (pn
#03-8365-8). Then re-fasten the playfield plastic, which will now bow, allowing the ball
to roll off
2) Fasten Down Display Plastic With #8 Wood Screw
After you have installed the post under the top left playfield plastic, use the
left over #8 wood screw to hold down the display plastic. Locate a spot UNDER the metal
bracket (see diagram) and screw into the wood display panel through the plastic.
3) Ball May Stick Under Upper Plastics Below Display
The ball may become lodged in the outer right loop under the upper plastics. The
problem may be the (2) lower ground lugs located on the back of the dot matrix panel
pushing the plastic down. Pull out the playfield and bend the ground lugs up and out of
the way.
4) Ball Falls Off Left Wire Ramp (near switch & clear plastic)
Check to make sure the left wire ramp switch properly actuates allowing, the ball
to roll by. Also make sure the wire form's bottom 2 rails are even and the ball glides by
the clear plastic and does not touch. You can bend or loosen the wireform and push it out
slightly if needed to allow for proper roll down.
5) Change Pivot on Three Center Switch Blades
To allow the locked balls to roll off easier remove and reposition the blades
from the 3 LOCK switches. Move them over to the other pivot position on the switch body.
On some games, the ball may become trapped on the upper plastic (1). Remove this plastic and the #8 screw holding down the ball guide. Replace it with a post (not included - p/n 03-8365-8) and a wood screw (not included - p/n 4108-01115-26). Replace plastic and tighten. Also, the ball may lodge UNDER the left and right corners of the upper plastic. Be sure that the ground lugs are positioned UP (2).
Secure Display Plastic with #8 Wood Screw.
With the leftover #8 wood screw, fasten down the display plastic under the ball
guide (3).
Check to be sure that the switch properly actuates allowing the ball to roll by. Also, be sure that the wire form bottom rails are even and that the ball glides past the clear plastic without touching it. You can bend (2) or loosen the wire form and push it out slightly if needed. See diagram below.
We recommend that you further adjust the switch tension on the three center LOCK switches (p/n 5647-12693-66). Move the switchblades over to the other pivot position. Gently use a sharp knife-edge to "pop" off the blade, and then snap it back down in the new position. See diagram below.
