Hey just wanted to send a shout out to @ifixcoinops and others who chimed in. The #hyperball repair was a roaring success, and the machine is playing beautifully. #pinball. Thank you!
This optical switch has been soldered to this board for 40 years. Ready to be replaced! #pinball #hyperball #williams

@ifixcoinops Here's the offending board and switch removed. I don't know how to test this switch as I can't find a spec sheet on it anywhere. OP3830 is the switch ID. I don't see any dirt or gunk on it. Testing in-machine showed the other 2 switches working fine. #hyperball #pinball #repairs
@ifixcoinops How the heck do i remove and test this optical target? Just undo the 4 hex head wood screws and pull out the assembly out and then multimeter? #pinball #hyperball
And so it begins. This #hyperball #pinball machine has a stuck gate. One of the optical triggers isn't triggering. I learned how to take it apart and run diagnostics. Now to see if it's just dirty or the switch needs to be replaced.
