Episode1 Specific Problems and Solutions:
The Episode 1 Software Bugs
Bad Microswitches
Bad Optos
Shield gets Stuck
Bad microswitches:
Up to now only the C3PO microswitch was reported in RGP
to have problems.
But the latest Ep1 that I have seen had a lot of microswitches
misadjusted -
but none of them was defective
Bad Optos:
I once played an Ep1 where the central mirror target opto
had a big problem.
Central Shield gets Stuck:
I found it now on at least 2 playfields that had some thousand games
on it-
the center shield can no longer fall down all the way and gets stuck
before.
The ball no longer hits the (2) rubbers but the shield metal - which
makes
a big difference in gameplay as the ball bounces back much slower.
Unfortunately the metal starts looking ugly soon.
I did not find a solution so far - but have time soon.
