The Shadow Playing Tips and Rule Sheet
1 WPC Specific Issues
2 Game-Specific Issues
Lower Phurba Microswitch
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 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.
Switch Matrix Issue with Phurba Control Buttons
When closed, the leaf switches for the left and right phurba diverter controls can each cause two columns of switches in the switch matrix to close if the diode is bad or missing. Replace or add the diode on the malfunctioning switch to correct the issue.
French Language in LH6 ROMs
At least one version of "The Shadow" ROMs contains a bug that causes "Just Say NO to Drugs" to be displayed in French when the game volume is being adjusted as shown at left. Version LX-5 does not have this bug.
