SELF-TEST PROCEDURE
To perform the self-test procedure, set the self-test switch to ON or
simultaneously power the game ON and press the service switch. To end
the self-test, set the self test switch to OFF. (The Service Switch is
a round button on the upper right corner CPU board to the left of the
dip switches. FWIW, It looks like the Test Switch grounds the test
signal from CPU board pin J to the ground pin V)
NOTE: This procedure does not test the coin door lockout coils. If the
Self-Test passes, but the lockout coils do not energize when power is
applied to the game, suspect the lockout coil wiring, coin door
harness, game PCB harness, or transistor TR3 (for the Ireland-Built
cabinet check TR3 and TR4) and related circuitry of the CPU PCB.
