 |

I noticed on Tour the Bar when I hit the left orbit that the light doesnt go out and register as a completed shot. Is this a software bug? The switch test fine and works fine in other modes. Thanks -Mike

I haven't had a chance to try it on my game, but you can always try it on pinmame and see if it works there. |

Mine goes out when in the "tour the bar" mode.
Adjust your orbit switch and check your spinner switch as well.

I think I figured out the problem. The right orbit gate isn't lifting correctly to feed the orbit. It seems to be binding. I have it all apart but had to walk away and take a break and I am getting ready to go to CA Xtreme tomorrow so I will see what I can do Mon or Tues  I didn't realize that it was supposed to so I am going to have to look into fixing this. When I tested it out with the glass off and threw a ball through the left orbit and manually hit the right switch afterwards the light went out. -Mike |

| I tried it on my BBB and it works fine, ie, the light went out, and the mode registered the shot. |

| Haven't noticed this bug so far. I posted some bugs about a year ago and noticed a new one: After Happy Hour starts all playfield lamps blink for about 5 seconds and then the lamps go back into regular mode while the mode is still running. Anybody else notice this? |

| Alright I figured out the problem. Took me awhile and a task I was unsure if I should try but I took the a lot of parts off and figured out that the right orbit diverter wire was binding against the playfield causing the diverter not to open when it was supposed too. Problem now finally fixed Yeah! Man I was kind of scared removing all the pieces I did but now that I finished my confidence is way up on all Pinball repairs. I now would not be so scared to try a playfield swap. I did have to walk away a couple of times and gather my sanity. Some advice that I picked up from reading Lloyds posts in RGP. I did end up losing a spring to the right diverter but I stole the left one and made a makeshift spring (thanks Mr. Ballpoint pen) for the left one which I stole. Now I just have to figure out where to order the spring (any suggestions?) I also need to order a Darts switch as mine occasionally sticks down. Does anyone know who would carry these? Thanks -Mike |
