Hi All
New poster.. I have a 1976 Captain Fantastic which turns on and lights up also when you hit the on button it cycles but that's it, the ball doesn't pop up and the flippers and bumpers don't work.
I found 2 wires not connected and it's missing one coin mechanism.Iwill order new mechanism unless it's not necessary.
Anyone know where to connect these wires?
Thankyou inadvance

My Capt. was a dirty mess when I got it. All the issues I had came down to dirty, out of adjustment relay switches. And my door was a mess also. Now it works perfectly. Once I cleaned every switch leaf then when something was giving me issues I followed schematic to the bad relay and was able to fix a lot of stuff. Even when it looked like the switch was making contact it wasn't. I would have to slightly bend the leaf so it contacted at a different location. Sometimes I would get stumped and come back here for help.

Wow! I just noticed my lower switch guide screw is loose. Back to the game room.
