I have these two chimes not working. When I look in the back box the switches seem ok (as far as I can tell). I can manually push on the right side and increment the score reels but the chimes for the 10's and 100's are a no go. I see wires heading into the coils and the colis seem ok.

Not sure what to check for. What's the best starting plce for this one?

Thanks

Year: 1976

Just some follow up for documentation on how I solved this problem.

1. I tried the advice above. The switches were clean and working plus the Jones plus were cleaned and reseated. No change.

2. I then looked at the schematic but quickly realized I have no idea how to read a schematic. No change.

3. I then moved to the chimes and worked backwards. I saw a smaller jones plug next to the chimes (not in the back box). I used my multimeter to check the continuity of the connection from the chime coil, past the jones plug, and into the bottom board. There seemed to be a wonky connection. I took the plug out, gave it a be of a clean and reseated. Boom. The missing chimes were back.
