    Default Few questions on my Thunderbirds Gearshock machine

    OK wanted to start of with a big thanks to all those who helped me before I bought the machine. Now I have a couple of questions.

    First is what do these switches do?

    Second is what do the error codes 2 & 3 stand for? I think 2 is not enough balls in the upper tray.

    Thanks in advance.

    no clue on your errors but I think the switches are the factory volume switches. The settings are too loud, too loud down the street and jet at take off

    Hi,
    The error messages are either not enough balls in the payout tray. Keep upper tray full.
    Too many balls in the lower win tray. Keep lower tray from being too full.
    The switches are for upper (speakers in upper corners) and lower speaker volume controls.
    Try em!

    Thanks will try the switches later tonight. I never like to mess with stuff until I know what they are. Don't want to mess anything up. As for the error messages too full on the payout tray makes sense.

    Thanks everyone,

    Ok so yes the switches were the speakers, seems someone unplugged the bottom speakers and tucked the wires behind other stuff. That took me a few minutes to track down but now all the speakers are working. They had also stuffed cotton balls in front of the upper speakers to soften the blow. Now I just need to get some resistors and I'll be set.

    Thanks for all the help once again,
