I have a 1974 OUT OF SITE this pin was working up until about a day ago. Now all the right side drop targets and the top right lane rollover doesn't do anything. The target fall but do not score or Chime same with the top right lane rollover it seems they all stopped at the same time. I cant find anything else that doesn't work. Any Ideas?

this is my first pinball machine and I am excited to learn how to work on it.
thanks for your help

Do you have a scanned schematic you can post?

anything else scoring? i alwys like to check by manually activating the scoring relays in the head. try a 2p game to see if its the same. scoring goes thru player unit and can be a source of issue

Hi Al
here http://www.pinrepair.com/ then here http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index.htm the whole document is good.
Go to here http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index2.htm#emsteppersvideo --- and now scroll upwards a bit to the pictures of "Gottlieb AS-Relay". This stepper is in Your pin --- as it is stepped forward: Sometimes the "A-Alternating-Relay" is made to pull - sometimes the A-Relay is not made to pull. The A-Relay has mounted five "three-bladed Make-and-Brake" Switches --- these M&B switches control the Drop-Target stuff (left-right-left-right-left ...). I hope for luck --- look for the A-Relay and have a good look at the switches mounted --- a wire broken-off a solder-lug ? Greetings Rolf
P.S.: Here http://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/ and then here http://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=EM_Repair --- also good stuff.

As rolf_martin_062 indicated, all of the playfield switches that are not working all include A relay switches in their circuits. Check the A relay switches to see if they are clean and adjusted properly... When a target drops on the right target bank, does it add a bonus score?

Thanks for all the help. So now it seems to score sometimes and doesnt score other times. I am going to do a good cleaning and see if I can figure out what the a relay switch looks like...
