Re: Wierd STTNG issues- help please

Sounds like a switch matrix issue. Since it doesn't always happen, I
wouldn't look for the normal reversed diode or switch wired wrong, but
rather something shorting the switch lugs/diode/wires, or a switch line (
wire ) shorting to something. Since it doesn't always happen, it may take
some time to find it. LTG :)

My STTNG will do some odd things;

Will throw out an extra ball from VUK during some modes creating
multiball

Cannon will over rotate and blocked wire ramp- once and only once

Will lose ball sometimes when in subway ball eventually found after
restart


These do not always happen. I can have a bunch of games without issue
and then something springs up-
is this just a thing with STTNG? Any help appreciated. The symptoms
are just odd so not sure where to start.
Check switches? Bad optos? TIA
