Bally Game Maker Door Open, but it's not!
« on: September 13, 2015, 06:51:54 PM »
My Bally Gamemaker is giving me the main door open icon on the front. It's closed though! This machine was working perfect until I removed the top round unit. I did a clear to make sure of my settings. I've done multiple clears before so I'm fairly sure they're correct. I have no clue why I'm getting this error now. Like I said... machine was working just fine.
The only other thing I did was put a jumper to the wires that were attached to the top box door. I removed the jumper and it didn't make any difference.

Well this is embarrassing...
When you pull out the CRT on this big machine, it hits the door switch unless you lower the front, slide it out a little ways... then just pull it out normally and that way it clears the button.
The first time, I ran the CRT into the button and dislodged it. I pulled out a wire from the switch (to remove the switch) and replaced it later. DING! That was my problem. I didn't put the wires in the same spot!  :duh:
They go in the top two tabs... so the switch is open when the door is closed. Otherwise you get the constant door open error. Disconnecting it works also, but I didn't feel like tying the wires up.
I wonder why this has a switch anyway since it's got the optics in it? Just extra security?

And of course, no good thing goes without a cost... I just noticed this!
The "now" top glass (since I lopped off it's head!) has a crack in it. It must have just happened. I don't know why - I'm always careful opening and closing the door. DOH!
