Question about Strikers 1945 III

[Gungriffon Geona]

Since the local Cici's pizza finally fixed their cab of Strikers 3, I've been having alot of fun. (it's the only place in the whole town with a decent shmup, so it's worth it.)
Though one thing bugs me. That being the continue countdown just sits instead of counting down, IE no "game over". I'm not sure if this is a dip-switch thing or not, but any answers about this?

PS: this game is awesome. I don't care if it murders me because I haven't noted the patterns yet, it's still just as fun as it was 5 months ago when it broke. (yes, it took them that long to fix it.)

On later Psikyo games, the counter should count down (by 1 every 2 seconds) after a 5 second clock freeze. After it goes down to 7 or 8, there should be a "YES" or "NO" prompt with NO selected by default.

If this doesn't happen then the PCB is trippin' balls

Then it's definitely a screwed up board, as I watched the thing for a few minutes while eating my pizza. absolutely nothing happened.
