Removal: There are three (3) Thumb ‘Screws (Black Knobs) which secures the} 2nd Level Mini-Playfield to the Support Posts. Two (2) are located just below the MiniFliper Bats, and the rd one is behind the Plastic Ramp. You can now carefully move the playfield] TAKE CARE! when lifting so as not to damage the bulbs on the Back Panel. If the playfield needs servicing outside or away from the game cabinet, note the wiring and connector harness from the TV Set (via the Back Panel Access Hole) and the remaining harnesses via the Main Playtield Access Hole (all of which need to be disconnected). Reinstallation: After the Mini-Playfield is positioned back into place, hold down firmly while tightening the Thumb Screws. After all three knobs are secured, press down firmly with one hand on the playfield and ensure there is no movement (or play). If harnesses were disconnected, ensure they were all properly fed through the same access holes and the connectors are seated correctly, It is always a good idea to enter Diagnostics (Begin Play Test) or play a game with the glass removed to ensure all switches, coils and lamps are still working properly.

If one speaker has the positive and negative connections reversed with respect to the other one, bass frequencies will not be produced properly and the overall sound quality willbe poor. To test for proper speaker phasing, use the sound test to cycle through the Backbox & Cabinet, and Backbox Sine (repeated) functions. If the Cabinet Sine produces more volume and bass than the Left Sing, the speakers are connected properly. If it produces the same or less, one speaker is connected improperly. To Isolate and correct reversed speaker ‘connections, one of two methods may be used. 1. Check each speater for polarity markings. If the speakers have polarity markings, verify that the Backbox Speaker RED-WHT Wire and the Cabinet Speaker YEL-WHT Wire is connacted to the negative (-) terminal 2, Disconnect the speaker output connector from the CPU / Sound Board and connect a 1.5-volt battery across each speaker pair one at a time while observing the speakers, Make sure the positive battery terminal is connected to the positive lead (CN4, Pin-3 (RED-BLK) or Pin-6 (YEL-BLK)) each time.
