Evening,
Mildly baffling one here. Just taken receipt of a Road Show on loan. When you enter the spinner scoop for the “Bob’s Bunker” item choice, you press the right flipper to buy the item with points, and the left flipper to pass. The left flipper choice works fine, you tap the button and the ball immediately kicks out without buying the item.
But the right flipper choice more often that not does nothing, almost like the button isn’t working. I’ve tried tapping, holding, it generally just ends up timing out and then the ball kicks out as if I’ve declined and the game carries on. On some occasions, the item does get bought, but there’s no real rhyme or reason to it i.e. sometimes it happens a couple of seconds after I’ve pressed anything. I know that Road Show is coded so that you should always have sufficient points to buy whichever item is presented, so it shouldn’t be that it’s failing because of that.
The right flipper works absolutely fine otherwise, so I’m comfortable the button is okay. Any ideas for other things I can check on this one?
The only other faults that I’m aware of with the machine are that the left ramp exit microswitch is faulty so the ramp doesn’t register right now (parts ordered), Ted’s eyelids have been removed (painful), and a couple of the flashers have been switched off. Any ideas appreciated!
Many thanks,
Simon
