INTRODUCTION
The coin-operated version of Operation™ is a licensed product from Warner
Bros., based on the universally popular board game. As in the original board
game, the player must “extract” a “body part” to win tickets.
The player tries to “extract” the random body part selected by the game.
When a player successfully “extracts” the part, the value is added to the points
total. A second body part will be selected, and if the player successfully
“extracts” that part, the value will be added to the total points and the bonus
multiplier will increase by one. The multiplier will keep increasing for each
subsequent body part “extracted” until time runs out. The faster you play, the
more you win!

DIAGNOSTIC MODE
To enter Diagnostic Mode, hold Attendant Pay button while powering up the game, until you hear a
beep, then release button.
Test 1: The playfield displays will start counting 0-9, and then 10-90 to self-test all of the digits. This
test will repeat until you advance to the next test.
The Attendant Pay button will advance you to the next test.
Test 2: The body cavity displays will be numbered from 1 to 13 in a U-shaped pattern to make sure that
they are wired correctly.
Test 3: Will light the ‘rim’ of each cavity on the playfield, starting at ‘brain freeze’ and working down
and up in a u-shaped pattern. This test will also repeat until you advance to the next test.
Test 4:
(1) Will light up the 13 back board lights, one at a time, starting at WRITER’S CRAMP moving
counterclockwise to BROKEN HEART;
(2) then the nose light;
(3) the front corner LED strips;
(4) and playfield border LED strips all at once. Again, this test will keep cycling until you
proceed to the next one.
Test 5: Will light up the TIME, MULTIPLIER, and SCORE displays on the head. They will all count
0-9 and 10-90, and then the SCORE display will count 100-900.
Test 6: Pressing attendant pay again will show 14, 15, and 16 in those same displays from left to right.
Test 7: Will light up the timer column LED’s and turn rows off one by one starting at the top working
downward.
Test 8: The final test will check the gantry, the playfield cavities, the coin mechs, ticket dispenser,
joystick, switches and meters.
(1) Use the joystick to move the gantry in any direction and test the limit switches.
(2) Press the ‘drop’ button to test the up/down motor and up/down limit switches.
(3) Insert a coin to advance the coin meter by one and display either a 1 or a 2 depending on
which mech is used.
(4) Press the Error Reset button to increment the ticket meter by 3 and dispense 3 tickets. It
will also display a 3 on the top display.
(5) Test the playfield by hooking a wire to GND (the forceps are connected to GND) and
touching the bottom of each cavity. The LED’s around the cavity should light up and you should
hear a ‘winner’ sound. If you touch the outer rim of a cavity, the nose should light up and you
should hear the ‘loser’ buzzer.

ERROR CODES
“BRAIN FREEZE” light is flashing on back panel on power up: Indicates a TWI communication
error.

gantry did not return to the home position, or at least one of the limits switches is not being read.

It is possible that the cord connecting the forceps may unwind all the way and wind back
up in the opposite direction. If you think that may be the case, compare your gantry to the
pictures below:
