    Default Need Help on 1991 Umbrella man

    Bought machine off ebay. Play test. Everything works, gitchy shooter knob. First thing I do is dismantle, clean everything top to bottom, polish pics, etc. Reassemble.

    Shooter knob works fine (was maladjusted)

    All pockets pay out. 1 & 2 pockets open center.

    Absolutely nothing I do activates fever mode anymore! I'm a little worried I fried the little magnet sensors on the upper and lower holes. Anyone else come across this problem? Photos posted show breakdown and cleaning. Other than this glitch, it performs like new.

    Did it have an error alarm, some of these machines did. So if a ball went in the V pocket before the wings open it would go into error. You can try to false an error, then you know if the sensor is
    working, then test the sensor, or bypass it by sending a signal back to the processor to see if you get an error.

    Error sensor never went off. Turns out wiring ports 18a and 18b (out to center, in from board) were switched. The machine continues to play normally like this, but the fever mode won't work. Swapped wiring, and voila!

    Guess I shouldn't drink and repair machines.
