Congratulations on the game. From your pictures it all looks there except for the running men you told me about. Do you have a tumbler? Schematic? You will need both to get the parts nice and shiny.

The best thing is the plastic and Backglass parts are available for this game thanks to Shay. Scott Webb as you know makes valuable parts and all the coils are readily available from Steve Young at PBR.

I will be following. Post a picture of the area that the running men locate so we can clearly see what all is missing.

Advice to op you may want to ask the mods to move this to the em section. I have been advised previously that knowledgable em people sometimes don't look at other sub forums. The threads can move from view so fast.

Want you to get the assistance you need.

Not too bad. The connector from the door was removed. Williams stopped using these type of connectors after this game and they are hard to find. I was able to get a longer one and cut it into three thanks to the generosity of Todd Newman aka newmantjn. I have one left so you can have it.

I will take pics how to fix it all and post over the weekend.

PM your address.

Quoted from Jetcom1121:

There is a white w/black stripe wire in the pics on the relay board on the left side just behind the score motor that is not connected to anything, any ideas where it goes ?

This is on the Game Over relay and is the part of the 110V Bat coil power circuit. See the two pic's of where it goes. It's actually a white with a blue and black secondary color. You have a hack that needs removing. So follow that hacked brown wire that's connected to the bat coil switch and tell me what it connects to and we can strip it out.

Quoted from Jetcom1121:

Here are some pics of the problem areas of World Series. The wires from the control panel are cut (No Connector)from the batting handle & Pitch Button....

You need a new 4 prong connector. I can make one. You will need to match the colors and solder on. I had to make all my moulding and wiring etc. So I have a piece to make one last 4 prong connector . It will work perfectly.

Wires are off of Start Switch....

There are two wires as shown that go to the replay switch. See Pic.

Quoted from Jetcom1121:

The wire harness has cut wires which I think some of them went to the 3 missing counter meters.....If I cant locate the original connectors,what are your thoughts on using Molex or pinball style connectors ? Thanks.

The remaining wires are for the meters. Any 50 Volt meters work. I had a similar issue than you so i used some old 50's meters. I will change them to the right meters in time maybe. I will make you the connector so you don't use molex connectors .

Emailing the files for you to print out the front cards, (I used picture gloss paper and compared to originals and couldn't tell apart).

Also I will send the label files, print them on tan paper. All need cutting to size with scissors. The long labels are stuck to the metal relay covers with glue sticks.

Send me your postal address by a PM and The 4 pin connector will be in the post.
