Hi all,
I've had my Warlok for many years now, and whilst I don't know much about pinball from a technical stance, I know enough to be able to fix basic issues.
Just recently the game stopped registering orbit shots. For those not familiar, the ball simply has to pass through 2 gates in order to be awarded this shot.
I opened up the table and lifted the play field to check the contacts underneath the gates that are used on the orbit shot. They looked more or less ok. I adjusted one of the contact so that it didn't have to travel quite so far to make contact, as it seemed like it was a little too far away.
I put the play field back down, started a new game and whizzed a few balls up through the orbit shot. Some of them registered, and some didn't.
I removed the ball and then picked the playfield back up again to have another look at the contacts under the gates, however this time when I lifted the playfield, it sort of acted like I'd just tilted it, and then ended the game. Didn't think much of it at the time. Carried on looking and then put the playfield back down again.
Started a new game to test it again and now the flippers are dead.
I can't see anything disconnected, and I opened the back and I everything seems connected back there too.
Is anyone able to help with this?
Can take and attach pics if it'll help.
