October 16th, 2025: Both flippers randomly failing.
Technician: Mike Murray, Mike Woods, David Murray
A customer reported that both flippers would just stop working randomly as he played the game.  All three owners have worked on the machine and were unable to find any obvious issues.  The game would randomly report a voltage overload.  Tech alerts showed something with node board 8.  We isolated it to pin 1 on CN15.  When we depinned that pin the game would work, albeit some bulbs out. All bulbs were pulled on strings 151, and 155, and tested.  The entire string was tested with a meter.  We discovered of After a couple of weeks of back and forth with Stern tech support they dispatched a new node board.  We installed it and the game was fully working again.
