Hi all
I have a hard time to figure out what is wrong with my old Williams TEN SPOT pinball. Score board works but "game" board isn't no broken wires on fuses, no life on board even lights are off nothing . .. . game wont reset or do anything ' help !!
I don't know squat about pinball machines. But as a general rule, if nothing works, look at the power supply.

Sorry! Message got lost in wrong group . .huh ? (Btw Supply is very alive ..)
I don't know the vintage of that machine, but I've seen that happen when a connector or two are loose near where the head meets the playfield. It usually happens when the head is folded down for transport. All of the drive transistors for the coils and lights power the playfield through these connectors.
Hope this helps
--Hey, where *is* pinball discussion taking place? I love them things! Matter of fact they were teaching a class in hacking pinball machine parts for robotic art projects at the Crucible this summer. Wish I coulda taken it! :-)
