I stopped in to work on a guys Maverick pin today and when in game play, it asks if you want to Raise or Fold. The flipper buttons will highlight back and forth between the options, but it wont select one. Any ideas whats going on? Is it an operator setting?

I don't recall if mine would highlight back and forth but besides that I had the exact same issue. It ended up being a fried trace on the main board for me can't remember exactly which one because its been like 5 years or so.

Good to know. I ended up dropping the customer. He was starting to try and blame me for things I never touched. & then was complaining that it took to long to track down parts (1 week).
I tried explaining that the manufacturer was out of business and parts are not as easy to find as for instance the refrigerator he just bought.
The guy was nuts.
But good to know about this issue you found. I’ll keep that in mind!
Sorry this didn't get fixed, but I understand.
So many customers have no idea that their machine is 30+ years old, and there may be quite a few problems with the game.
It's always "I think it might be something simple..."

Around me in Charlotte, we now have a fair number of people who will take a game and refurbish it, some for customers, some for themselves.
Very few people (2) will even try to fix a game in the customer's house.
It's always a difficult conversation... to the customer's point of view, they have this little problem, from my point of view I've got three or more hours of really hard work to get the game reliable... and that's if I'm really quick about what I'm doing!
It's a whole lot easier to just say "you bring it to me, I'll spend the time it takes to properly fix what's wrong, and then you can have it back".
And some customers, you just need to step away from.
If you ever do fix this problem, I'd be interested in finding out what the problem was.
