NORMAL SETTINGS
The Bonus Jackpot count re-
sets intermittently or ran-
domly goes into test mode.
It has come to our attention
that some distributors and/or
operators may have mistak-
enly bolted the legs on Twi-
light Zone into the wrong set of
holes. There are 3 holes for
each leg in the cabinet that
allow the game to be lowered
for use in a small person loca-
tion (kids).
Make sure that the rear legs
are bolted into the LOWEST
set of holes in the cabinet.
(This means that the rear is
higher!) If the rear legs are in
the UPPER two holes, the
game cannot reach proper
pitch even with the levelers
cranked up all the way!
SOLUTION
The first couple versions of
Roms all had these problems.
If you have below a version 4.0
and don't have the problems,
they may occur at a later date.
f"""'I\Mine didn't start until after a
month and a half of working
fine.
SmmcE
The manufacturer, Lazor
Tron, has new program up-
dates they say will cure the
problems. Contact your dis-
tributor for availability.
SYMPTOMS
Unfortunately, it is possible to
set the front legs normally and
the rear legs low so that the
game is almost flat in pitch. If
you have a Twilight zone and
are having long game time/
huge scores/impacted earn-
ings you should check the fol-
lowing ...
We have heard of at least 10
operators who inadvertently
had their games set this way.
By correcting the problem
their earnings were raised
substantially.
