I've been playing TPA since it came out and it really has lit the pinball bug in me again.
I have owned an addams famly table since 2002 and its been in a few different rooms in the house,the last of which is my garage for the last 4 years (sacrilege i know) where its been stuck at the back on a workbench with the legs took off
Anyways it developed a fault 4 years ago and i could not find anyone near to me to fix it and i never had a clue.
With decorating the house and stuff it got took out of the house.
Well through the forum and a few links later i found a guy near me who owns 31 tables,gave him a pm and a week later he came round which was yesterday.
The problem the table had was shutting down and restarting on multiball.So the main driver board would have to come out and be sent off to get fixed.
We started it up played till multiball and then...
The sound stopped working
The Dot Matrix Stopped working correctly(see pic below)
The table was restarting just by completing greed on the bookcase
and to finish it all off..............
The flippers stopped working
i had to laugh though 1 problem turned into a load of em.
Turns out its all related to the time its been stored so it needs a good clean on the contacts,ect.
Driver board will get sent away next week so in about a couple of weeks it will be running 100%
Just happy i found TPA and this forum...i got the bug back.....
