Title: odds unit disc trouble in a 956 low boy
Post by: arfulruf on May 16, 2012, 04:10:01 AM
Im having trouble with the odds unit disc in my 956. I think that with good pictures from the bottom and the side will help. Does anyone know how to put these units back together? The odds unit will not pulse the X units at all.

Since that unit can go back on one of two ways, I generally put a little black dot on the UP side with a sharpie.  That way I know I'm putting back on correctly.
If it don't work one way, flip it over 180 and try it again.
Also, you might want to put little arcs on those fingers to give them good pressure when you put it back on.  Make it look like a little spider, and when you push down on it you should see the legs give. Like a spider doing push ups on a mirror.
You might look at the wiring on the back of the odds board to get an idea which fingers are used.
also look for any wires coming loose on the odds board, or any jumpers coming loose.
If all else fails, check the wiring to your X coils for continuity to the odds disc itself.
Remember, also, you have a little wiper protruding from the odds board what touches on the inside ring of yours odds 'spider'  Make sure that is contacting.
Also make sure it is mechanically able to physically step up and reset by pushing on your step up plunger, and your reset plunger to verify it steps and resets.
