The left jet bumper and the right slingshot are now repaired and working.
I removed the power driver board and replaced all the components for the right slingshot.
Testing showed that it now works as it should.
Another problem is that the game sometimes ejects extra balls when playing.
It seems not to happen when shooting the balls “normally”, when just hitting random targets without locking a ball.
Switch matrix seems to be working and are registering all balls correctly in the ball trough.
I removed the two opto boards in the ball trough and looked for bad solder joints, but it looks ok visually.
Testing of the ball trough showed no issues, even when fiddling with the wires.
Further troubleshooting revealed that it only happens when locking ball #2.
When ball #2 enters the idol, the previously locked ball were released to the playfield because the idol rotates to make room for ball #2.
It turned out to be the yellow plastic idol rotor lock that had broken off, which should prevent the ball from going back to the playfield at this time.
I placed an order from the guys at free-play.se so it should arrive within a week.
Thanks Simon! 🙂
This should be the solution for the several ball issue.
But i can only be sure when it is replaced and tested of course… 🙂
