Pinball Apollo 13 Moonmagnet

Pinball Apollo 13 Moonmagnet at work.
I've bought the pinball without the working moonmagnet. After I fixed the problem (a loose transistor) the moon grabs the ball, normally in the center, in the video unfortunately not...

;-(

Enjoy the iPhone filmed video!

Okay, for the magnet you have 2 wires comming to the moon, yes indeed, 1 for power and one for ground. the wires come from a little print. This print (with a transistor on it) will steer the magnet on and off. What do you mean by "it's diconnected? the wire is loose? Let me know, i'll guide you!

Check the switches & when there dead replace them. Let me know when you'r back in town...

Hi NegroRenaca,

You can adjust the moon setting by adjusting the belt below the playfield. Just lift the playfield and go adjust!

You can adjust the moongravity by adjusting the setting 'Blastoff letters' to hard or extra hard. Then you'll need to make combo's to let the moon work, see the manual, it's all over the internet!

Hi guys, could you help me with my apollo? when i'm in the menu there are things i can not select and the "buy in extra ball" wont work, after a game it says "one coin for one extra ball" but it when i put a coin in it only adds a credit, not extra ball.

I've the 7-segments leed off too. I saw in a schematics of stern that the circuit board that control the moon magnet also control the 7-digit display. I forgot to check the J4? connector to the driver board that's power the boar that control the rocket display and the moon.

That's the status for now,, i've to wait another week to take the machine to my home. Thanks for the helP!

Right, I haven't seen the print yet, but I saw a power cable (50V) coming to a fuse attach under the playfield, at the other end of that fuse ther's a black cable. I suspect that cable it's the power cable to the moon right? But, where's the ground? whit the board who has the transistor?

TIP: I've the.....

As single wire comes from the moon, but I noticed that there are two wires inside the moon. One it's for grab and the other for hold the ball pheraps? Anyway, the wire it's disconected, I almost attemp to connect the wire to the 50VDC outlet but.. I don't know where's the ground :( Can you guide me a little? if you have msn would be better for talk!

Greetings.

Diego.

Ok, i just arrive from the location of the machine for now. I spend all the day inspectioning the moon. It work fine, with the two switches working (a disconected plug was the problem of the switches ¬¬). But the magnet doesn't work :( a single..........

Thanks for the tip. I now far way from my pinball, i arrive to my home in a two weeks. I'll check the two switchs of the moon,, thats switches in the test mode do not work. A very bad luck? or another device that control the swtitches may be the problem? I appreciate your help, you're the only one that I know whit this machine.

That's allways happen. I've an A13 too, but my moon it's mmm not broken but crazy. He never find the right position and it's working almost all the gameplay time :( And i don't know where to star fixing rhat.
