This is not a repair guide, it's a test guide. It doesn't actually show any SOLUTIONS for problems. For what it's worth, great explanation of what the TEST is actually doing though.
Great info. But what about 2 opto switches that are in the same column, right next to each other rows? When one is activated, the other gets activated, and vise versa. No other switche is involved. How do you resolve this issue?
This a very handy video. Your explanations were excellent. Thank you for posting this.
Great video. Clear explanation. I'm stuck on one thing: if the current flows as you have drawn (from column to row, or top right to bottom left) then aren't the diodes pointing in the wrong direction?
What are those 2 thin plastic strips under playfield for? I’m missing them on my game. Thanks
Thanks, rehabbing Nugent 1978, probably dated but still helpful 👍
I have a situation where when I press one switch it will show that like 5 other switches are closed as well. For example, I press switch 1 and it indicates that 33, 21, 19, 12, 7, and 1 are pressed. But when I press any of the other switches on that list it will register as itself only. This also happens for other switches. So like all those numbers, +1, +2, and +3. Is this a matrix problem or something else?
Have you tried any of these bulbs in a Capcom machine? Capcoms are notorious for flicker. Thanks.
you know Soldering has an L in it? Its pronounced SOLD er ing in all the world except some parts of USA? NOT sodering?
Cant watch to music is at a lowder volume than the voice, makes it unwatchable
Music is annoying
You can tell someone understands their topic when they can explain it as clearly as this to people that originally do not understand it. Thank you.
Great video, very helpful, but that background music is horrible. And it's as loud as the speaker, so it's very distracting.
Where to but shammy swabs. Lots selling foam but I think foam is too soft.
Why do tubers play music in their vids? It was louder than your mic. Otherwise good info..thx
Thank you. That was a great explanation!
Hi, Terry do you know where I can buy replacement contacts? Thank you for your time
Great Video and very helpful!
This is a great and very informational video. (the background music is very irritating tho - lol)

you sir are a pinbal lifesaver - Between your videos and sodlering guide on pinside, i've saved myself a lot of hassle (except for the diode i melted with my iron :) if i could ever buy you a beer, it would be a great day.
great video ! The focus was way off but it wasn't terrible ;)
TERRY BRITTON, the older switch matrix used AC coils AC solenoids AC relays, why did they switch over to using DC coils, solenoids, relays? DC uses less current draw and more torque but how so? Why does pinball games use PIA chips for the light lamp matrix and for the switch matrix they use PIA chips for what reasons to use PIA chips?
Yah think this fella knows what he is talkin' about?
The GI lighting in the cool color i dont see that listed do you have a link to them exact bulbs i really like the way it illuminates all the dark areas.
Gilligan’s Island flickers like crazy when the power saver kicks in. Is there any way to dim LEDs in an old machine like this or even older ME machines?
Yes there is, it’s called LED OCD
Terrible sound. I thought my headphones were plugged in.
Much appreciated!!
This is the best Switch Matrix video on UA-cam.
I don't have too much trouble soldering under these conditions in your video. Where I could use the help is soldering while the playfield is tipped back against the cabinet. I'm trying to solder in some new bulb sockets without much luck. The soldering isn't flowing across the bracket where the ground wire runs over the bracket by the screw that holds it to the underside of the playfield. Any hints for me?
It would be nice if that music was not in the video as you can not hear a word you are saay over that garbage.
You should test LEDs from superfluxshop.de they are great!
Thank you so so so so so so so so so so so much!
Great video! Thank you for making!!!
Thanks Terry.. great tutorial...
Outstanding explanation and diagrams - you made it easy to understand why there are diodes, what happens when a diode fails as a short, and how to quickly locate the failed diode. Great work!
thanks for taking the time to make this video. helped me out heaps. thanks.
Great videos! Both really helpful and informative, nice job with excellent results!
Great video, very simply described and terrific diagrams.
Great video! Thanks for the info!
I think the blue would look good on Whitewater, and yes they really should come with instructions.
Why wouldn't noflix even give instruction for their products?
Thanks for the video. I wanted to buy some for my whitewater. Would you happen to suggest blue or white for that? I think blue would work better.
The LED bulbs have a 3-4 times longer life, lower current draw and less heat generation. But honestly the investment is really made for appearance. The other advantages are just plusses.
Thanks for the comparisons. Seems spendy over the regular bulbs. What is the usual life span of a regular bulb and a LED? I assume the LED lights will last longer?
Nice one of the many pins I want to own some day. I like the multi-ball on it amongst other modes. :)
Looks really good in this game. Not sure I'd use it in every pin but in this one it looks great.
Cool I have a ton of oxidized switches on my pin. I am thinking of trying out 99% alcohol on them and see how clean they get. Hoping I don't have to replace any of them heh.
Great video. Help. I kept getting Magnet Unload Error. I run the test and I get a fault. And it clears it.
