Hi. I'm new to the forum and I am repairing and restoring my grandparents 1974 Gottlieb Skyjump. I have just about everything working, but I just noticed the target bank doesn't score when it resets during game play. So if you knock the 1-7 drop targets down it resets and is supposed to score 500 or 5000 (I think depending on the bonus). All the scoring relays work by themselves, and the target bank does reset it's just not scoring. I've looked for a switch connected to to drop target bank but can't figure this one out. I have a hard time reading the schematics, but I have figured out every other problem on this machine. Please share your ideas. Thanks

Hi thank you. I don't have an instruction card so the info helps. I did check all switches on the target bank relay and they seemed to be working, resetting the drop targets and turning the score motor. But not scoring the points I remember seeing a switch on the front of the bank if that's the one you're talking about. It seemed to be connecting but I'll check again. Stay tuned, I'll let you know if it works when I have time to mess with it! Thanks

Okay I think I was wrong I think it is somewhere on the target bank relay but I can’t figure out where. I was manually tripping each switch on the relay and the target bank is resetting, and score motor turning but no points scoring. That’s how I fixed the other scoring relays (50 and 500). Do idk if I need to take that relay back apart and adjust all the switches or what?

When the star bonus is on for 10x points, it’ll score 5000, but I realized when it does that it uses 2 different relays. The 10x point relay + 500 point relay. So that’s why I’m thinking the problem is in the E relay which is the 5000 point and target bank reset relay

Update: I triple checked the E relay which is the "5000 point and drop target reset" relay, and all the switches on the actual drop target and everything seemed to be in order. So during game play the drop targets are resetting, and the score motor turns, but the 5000 points don't score. Does anyone else have any ideas? Could it be in the actual score motor? All the score reels seem to be working properly as well. Thanks

Thank you. I took those apart and cleaned them so I will see if they need to be adjusted (might have bent one out of place while cleaning). Thanks for the tip, I still have a hard time reading the schematics and score motor positions, so I appreciate the tips. I will check that tonight and hopefully have a positive update here soon!

I need to do this. I'm gonna go pick up some alligator clips at the store. I also have to figure out how to do this lol.

Update: I ordered an instruction manual, and tested pretty much everything that had to do with the "E" relay (target drop reset and 5000 point relay). Everything seemed to be working as it should on the scoring motor and score reels. Now I'm back to wondering if it is in the E relay somewhere. If anyone has any other idea that would be greatly appreciated.
