Good vid! Maybe I missed it, but what were the other wires for that you moved over? I'm assuming they were the controls for up down left right for player 2 even though it uses the same joystick?
No, the joystick controls run into a different connector. If my memory serves, of the three other wires, two wires were for the left/right coin chutes. According to the schematics, those two wires also run into two drop targets, with one also running to one of the upper loops. The last wire (orange/black) runs to the other upper loop. So, should be interesting to see how that affects gameplay. I theorized how, up until now, it was fairly easy to overlook the miswired connector since we usually just play a one player game and since the games are so short, could easily think everything is working just fine. I'm guessing we'll be earning more powerups in the pin section since a couple drop target/loop switches (that weren't previously registering) will be registering properly now.
Happy New Year, Jimbo! May this year be more TEN! than a boot to the head. 😄

Sweet! Great collection. Thanks!
good troubleshooting , it makes the game even more fun to play when someone transposes two wires on a pinball switch matrix connector.
Nice fix. look forward to the walk through.
