small problem with Reds eyelids
« on: June 25, 2012, 03:49:56 PM »
before I get into this I could use a few ideas, Reds eyelids won't close, they will open really wide when they're supposed to but she always stares back at you. everything else works fine. Any ideas?

Usually that means you have said something wrong, done something wrong, or maybe haven't done something you should have or you haven't said something you should have. LOL

No, seriously my Rudy's mouth wouldn't open on my FH, there is a board underneath the playfield that controls his functions. I re-flowed the board connections and found a bad connection. Worked for me?
Good Luck,

Wont close at all or all the way.  The linkage might be worn.  If you don't have a set I may still have a spare and ship it to you..

Wait.. when would she close her eyes? :o  Only Ted falls asleep in the game..  I think she may work around the clock.. I don't remember her closing her eyes...  You may want to post on rpg on this one..

There is a mini coil and an actuator that opens and closes the eyes.  They break unfortunately.  It is no small feat to fix it, must take the head out of the game.

that seems to be working, I still haven't taken it apart yet though, Kawi suggested that a spring may be broken or missing, seeing as how Ted works I'll take both faces off and compare the two.

Not the coil, the actuator.  The spring could be broken, but I doubt it.  Those actuators are known to break.

Eric L had that problem with Rudy and it was a spring. Worth a shot! Good Luck!
