More problems from the move to the new house (seems like Rumble was the only one that came away 100% unscathed. Oh yeeeeaaah!).

My Gottlieb Strange World has several of banks of lights you are supposed to complete.  Doing so makes certain targets that are worth 500 points worth 5000 points.  Now the lights are constantly lit so virtually everything you do results in 5000 points.  Is there some kind of setting that I can switch to correct this?

I don't have a manual, and I couldn't find anything after looking around online (maybe I just didn't know where to look).

Any help would be appreciated!

Pinball Resource has the manuals.

I am making an order today - but it won't be finalized for a day or so - so if you want one let me know.

You need an account with PBR - so its a bit of a hassle otherwise - if you are just ordering the manual.   I'd just charge you the cost (customs etc) and whatever postage to your place.

Hey thanks that'd be great! If it's not too late, I'll take you up on that offer.  

Let me know and I can paypal you the money or whatever you want to do.

It looks like one or more of the banks do not reset at game start or at next ball in play.

In addition to checking for the connectors, make sure that the bank assemblies
(in cabinet and under playfield, wherever they are present), are in their proper position
e.g. the bank assembly should be 'folded closed' and the side wingnuts tight for some
of those.

Also check the fuses. There is sometimes one or two in-line fuses for bank reset solenoids.

Good luck & Cheers,
- Sylvain.


Looking for 1966 Bally Capersville, 1967 Bally The Wiggler, 1981 Stern Viper, 1986 Pinstar Gamatron,
1986 Williams Grand Lizard, 1991 Williams Bride of Pinbot, and a few others.
Cash or some trades available. Could also repair a machine of yours +/-$ if needed, in exchange for
one machine on my want list, non-working/unshopped welcome!

I've added it to the order.  I'll let you know when it arrives.   PM me with your address.   We can do paypal or email transfer when the time comes.

Pm'd, thanks Tuborg!

Also, I'll take a crack at everyone's suggestions tonight (to the best of my rookie abilities).  Thanks for the help, I'll let you know how things pan out.
