Hey all, I have a Gottlieb 1973 Pro Pool and Just today I was playing and ran into an issue. The game is stuck on the 3rd ball and solenoids are completely inoperative. Usually when you place the ball in the 8-ball eject hole it will kick out in attract mode, it won’t even do that! Checked all fuses and they are ok, where should I start? Thanks!

Can you start the score motor by hand and it completes by itself? If it does you verify the fuse is working and system has power.

if not check fuse holder etc.

as to the kickout, hole switch closing? use a jumper from fuse block and touch non black lead of hole kicker coil, does it kick?

It was the score motor! Thanks a ton. All I had to do was reset it back to its original position (specified on inner card).
