I'm new to this forum and this is my first post looking for help.
Have a Bally playboy that has been in the basement for 25+ years.
Had some general repairs done on it 20 years ago but that repair
person is no longer around so I'm tinkering with it myself.
It has not been fired up for 5 or 6 years but when it was used last
everything was okay. Fired it up last night and right flipper would
not work. Left flipper works just fine. I'm not an electrical genius but
my first thought was to see if there was power to the right side button.
I used a screwdriver to short across the contacts at the bottom of the
switch and got nothing. I then did the same on the left side and it tripped
the flipper. So, I'm thinking there should be power going to the switch and
there is not. The two wires I shorted across go down into a wiring bundle
and off into oblivion.
Before I cut all the wire ties and trace these wires to wherever they go,
does anyone have any ideas as to anything else I can do?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve
