    Default Catch Me 500 (New brand) No sound

    I was wondering if anyone has run into a "no sound at all" problem before..?

    I can hear hiss from the speaker at low and high settings, but not actual game play sound. Makes me think the amplifier is ok, but maybe something else upstream?

    Any ideas or info is greatly appreciated!

    Have you looked along the wiring to the speakers to see if someone added aftermarket volume controls that might be turned down all the way? I don’t know if this model has controls built in as well. You could try unplugging and resetting the wires at the speakers and where those wires lead to elsewhere.

    I didnt see an aftermarket pot or anything down the line. I took it apart a bit. There is nothing obvious.

    Sorry I don't have any machines made by NET but others will be along to offer some help. Hopefully someone is familiar with this particular machine and is able to help you get the sound working again

    The contacts in the factory volume control will, after time, sometimes become corroded.

    Try sliding the switch back and forth, quickly, to clean the contacts. I believe they are on the inside of the front door. If not look for a switch similar to the one in the picture.

    Thank you. I will try to clean that switch. That is exactly what this which looks like, I had the board out and I didn't see anything peculiar but I will clean that switch and maybe Reflow the solder

    I ended up taking the main board / hopper / etc out for some deep cleaning, and low and behold when I put it back together.. ... Sound.... Go figure. I cant imaging any of those plugs were loose, but something was apparently. Nice to hear what the machine sounds like. Mission Impossible is the Jackpot tune. Now to find the light bulb bugaboos...
