IJ(W) POA judder

[Dave Bishop]

My POA on Indy has started to judder slowly when the left flipper button is pressed . The right side is fine.
The flippers as far as I can tell are working fine

Anyone had this before?

 

[Carl Spiby]

Check the flipper button opto.

The board might be going bad or it might require cleaning. Even if the flippers work fine, it can still affect the POA.

If you swap the flipper boards over from left to right, the problem should follow.

What Carl says above is almost definitely correct as I've seen this myself on many WPC games (also affects video modes on some games)

i had a cracked opto on the shadow once might be worth checking that to much cheaper replacing the opto than the board

 

[Calimori]

I had something similar, cleaned the optos and it worked fine after that but I bet my machine was far dirtier than yours.

What's POA?

 

[RudeDogg1]

Peas or apple

 

[Calimori]

Path of Adventure.
The upper left, tilting play field of doom that you are meant to tilt to guild your ball over a lit path.

We could now have a competition to see who can come up with the most funny answer.

 

[Paul]

Poibug On Acid?? That would be pretty funny

 

[Calimori]

Funny? Are you kidding, that would be mental.

 

[Spandangler]

Glad you asked JT. I didn't have a bloody clue either

The POA in IJ uses the slot type optos if I remember correct?
