Josh...this maybe obvious...but if you do not have the ball in the slot the machine will not function. There are also alot of tests you can run to determine the problem. (See the inside panel with the key pad) I have had a Rotation 8 since it was
brand new..it can develop problems alot. In fact when this machine was manufactured...it was not popular because of all the repair needed to keep it running at an establishment.
This thread is 8 years old but maybe it's not too late!
Rotation 8 is not dead, I hope to be able to do a replacement MPU board
relatively soon (year or less). My PCB designer has a real job (and
family) and not much time to devote to this sort of thing...

Hey John
Did your PCB designer finish the design?
I have two Rotations VIII but unfortunately no working PCB's ..
