Question - Hi Guys. On my Golden Gate, there is a resetting problem on the Magic Screen. As you Bingo people know, when the

screen is used and a new game is started, the screen will move a fraction to the left and then will reset by moving completely

to the right until it reaches it's normal position. Well, on my game, occasionally when I start a new game, the screen will not return or will

move even further to the left. When this happens, I can hear the screen motor running constantly. I then tilt the game and try again.

Any ides where I should start to look for the problem. Thanks....Roger

Answer - Seems like I have a similar problem with my Silver Sails, an identical game.

The actual screen position is indexed with a contact disc underneath it. If any thing is preventing the

screen from moving you will have a problem similar to this.

In my case, the number glass behind the screen came loose and prevented the screen from moving. In fixing that, the disc position

did not match the screen position. It is an easy matter of rotating the screen to match.
