A new arrival in the Tiki Hut : Freddy, a Nightmare on Elm Street!

The picture you have of the smart switch isn't a smart switch but a standard leaf switch that someone has used instead (you can see the screw hole used for the orignal switch).

More info on smart switches here:

and on the switch matrix operation here:

Good man, I was looking at that switch and thinking it doesn't look too smart but never having seen a smart switch I was going to go find a picture. Turns out they are just a different way of working so would the function of a standard switch still provide the same key function "on/off"?

Stern used piezo switches on some games. No moving parts switches, I'm guessing supposed to be more reliable .....had them on my Family Guy mini playfield ...one failed weeks after I got it

well this one doesn't seem to work in switch test mode, even when i close it manually. where do i go first in testing this, remind me? i can do microswitches but am not versed with leaf switches. do i try to short the switch with something to see if the switch itself is bad? do i test something with my multimeter?

or do i just hope my friend Geoff is free to come by tomorrow or Friday to play and help?

Geoff will sort it.

That's defo not a smart switch,and they can be awkward to reset if disturbed defo looks like that's not the right switch

[Mooseman]

I am looking as my mental illness requires.
A black rose or blackwater100
But no new arrival at mine. Was at a mates setting up jonathans ex CV

did you get you machine totally restored? I have the claw and eye ball plungers for it. Did you have to repair your claw save on yours? I am having issues with mine blowing fuses.
Free play is only available in tournament mode. But by reomving one of the coin mechs and adding a leaf switch behind the coin return button. You will have no need to put change in it. Its what I did to this one.

These were the foil rule sheets I had done up for mine.
