2 Game-Specific Issues

Lower Phurba Microswitch

An alternate switch used to prevent ball hangups after exiting the left phurba to the right.

Fast shots to the lower phurba ramp diverted to the right sometimes get stuck because the switch wireform hangs the ball up. One way to fix this is to get a replacement microswitch with a long wire actuator, and bend it so the activation occurs much later down the wireform ramp (as shown in the picture at left).

Autofire Plunger
Make sure the correct autofire plunger is installed. The manual calls out part A-2306-A. This is incorrect. For much more consistent autofiring, use an A-17767.

Mini Playfield Area Issues
If you are having problems with the Battlefield area, make sure the IDC connector on the opto board hasn't been damaged. Also make sure to tidy the kicker coil wires neatly with a zip tie to avoid wire chaffing as the kicker moves side to side.

Solenoid Table Incorrect in Manual

The corrected Shadow solenoid table, provided with permission by Pinsider Sascha Sascha Voskuil aka Zaza.

The solenoid table listing in the manual for The Shadow shows incorrect wiring connections. The corrected table, along with a few other improvements to the table, is shown on the left.
