Tonight the Demolition Man Elevator stopped working. Going into TEST
REPORT it said it was broken. Turned off the machine. I pulled the
playfield and felt around the elevator to see if something was stuck.
Found nothing, moved nothing. Put the playfield back down and turned on
the machine. The elevator starting working again. What could the
problem have been?

Thanks,

Not yet. I will be doing a complete shop within the month.

I got a beautiful playfield that has very minor wear (scuff marks)
and will be replacing it doing a complete shop. This will be a good
thing as the cabinet reeks of smoke. I will then have a chance to
completely clean every component and wire and of course check for cold
solder joints.

I played again and once again it stopped working. I jiggled the
machine, it started working and then quit again. Powered down, powered
up and it starting working again, however now the cryoclaw crashes into
the elevator.

So is the optics dirty in the elevator or in the cryo-claw?

In the elevator..take of the glass and pull the table to the first
locking position and you can look in there and seethe one and clean it
then right across from it is the matching opto, use a q-tip with some
alcohol and clean both..see if that helps and if not start checking the
wires.. Good Luck
