GAME REPAIR 

WARNING:  ALWAYS REMOVE POWER TO THE

COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO YOUR-
SELF OR OTHERS. 

 

TROUBLESHOOTING  

PHILOSOPHY 

 

To find problems with this game, always first check 
what should be obvious.  See that the game is 
plugged in, and all of the fuses on the game are 
good. 
 
Next, check to see that all of the connectors are 
firmly seated, and that none of the wires have pulled 
out of them. 
 

 

 

 

When trying to find out if specific components are 
bad or not, try swapping them with components from 
another player station to see if the problem moves 
with the component, or stays where it was.  This will 
help you to know if you have a problem with a spe-
cific component, or maybe a problem with either the 
wiring or the Main P.C. Board.  Use extreme caution 
when using probes or volt-meters if the game is 
powered up.  If checking continuity, it is important to 
disconnect the harnessing at both ends, as attached 
they may yield erroneous results. 
 
If P.C. Boards are suspected as causing problems, 
check to see that all I.C. chips are firmly seated on 
the boards. 

 
 

MAIN P.C. BOARD 

REPLACEMENT 

1.  Remove all A.C. power from the game. 

2.  Unlock and open the front door. 

3.  Carefully remove all of the connectors from 

the P.C. Board. 

4.  Remove the 4 long plastic hexagon nuts that 

secure the board to the main board housing. 

5.  Gently pull the P.C. Board from the mounting 

studs. 

6.  Reassemble in the reverse order using a 

new main P.C. Board. 

GLASS 

REPLACEMENT

 

1.  Remove all A.C power from the game. 

2.  Open the front door and unscrew the brack-

ets that retain the glass. 

3.  Carefully remove all broken glass from the 

game. Vacuum up any remaining pieces. 

4.  Carefully install the new glass and replace 

the mounting brackets. 

 

REMOVAL OF CRANE 

MECHANISM 

 

1.  Remove all A.C. power from the game. 

2.  Unlock and open the front door. 

3.  Slide the crane assembly to the front center 

of the machine for access to the micro track. 

4.  Pull down on the micro track and pull away 

from the Crane. This will unlock the micro 
track from it's mounting bracket. 

5.  Disconnect the connector from the crane as-

sembly. 

6.  Carefully lift the entire crane assembly off the 

rails approximately 2 inches, rotate clockwise 
as  far as possible, and drop past the crane 
rail and remove the entire assembly out from 
the game. 

7.  Reassemble in reverse order.
