Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Bally, 1977Hello All. I am new to the forum, and I hope my issue is an easy fix. When a coin hits the actuator, instead of adding a credit, it jus starts the game. Is there an adjustment to fix this?
Also, I am looking into two parts. The 3-4 inch spring that attaches from the coin door to the reject plate, and the actuator cover (little box) and fish paper.
Hi DJ...welcome
most pins have "if they have multi coin chutes", first slot can start a game or add credit, if there is an adjustment for it.
and then, second chute, just adds credit, or credits based on a jones plug that shud be on the bottom board towards the front.
the parts you are lookin for, can be had from pbresource, if they have them.
ok, thats an SS game, the changes shud be in switch settings.
Thanks. I did get a spring, actually just found one at a local hardware store. As far as the coin cover, PBR does not have them available. I'm going to try to make my own out of some tin.
Awesome, I will check to see that the settings are correct so that I receive credits and doesn't start the game. If I tripped over it twice it just automatically starts two players, gives me no credit. The other thing I need to work on, is the free game match "knock"... I think the solenoid is not strong enough to pop the box.
I made my own actuator cover out of a piece of tin. Got a spring. Still can't get my knock to work right.
Okay guys, I'm looking for some help. I cant get my Mac feature to work. Everything looks to be hooked up correctly, but, no credit when hit in the match. Anybody have any tips?
I think CF has an on/off match option. There should be a plug in the backbox where it can be inserted in the on or off position... If it's in the "on" position, check the high score feature adjustment - make sure the plug is inserted in the "credit" option... If those check out okay, check the player reset relay contacts and game over relay contacts...
I was looking at that the other night on mine. The gear only will go to 15. I thought it was odd also

Hello all, my match problem continues to elude me. Also, the special bonus for extra game on the left down does not produce a new game. Does anyone have a picture of what I should be looking for when it comes to locating my match and special credit? The only loose wire I have found, produced 100000 Buzz for player four every 10,000 points. If anyone out there can snap me a picture and show me what to look for I would really appreciate it.
Hi DJ_Charette
"first" I would like You to look (once more) at some Jones-Plugs (on the male side AND on the female side: Wires soldered-on ?) - and some Switches on relays (Score-Motor).
"Second" do a little manipulation*** on the Make-and-Brake-Switch on the Game-Over-Relay.
"Third" (if no look): We use some Jumper-Wires for checking / forcing a No-Match-Replay.
From ipdb-schema (around 20-24, C-F) I made a snippet of the area. "Green" line: Replays are made by the Score-Reels - a Make-and-Brake-Switch on Game-Over-Relay is "as shown in the schema) -> the Credit-Unit steps up.
The "orange lines" show "reaching Game-Over -> the M+B-Switch on Game-Over-Relay is moved -> eventually Player-1 gets a "No-Match-Replay".
I encircled "red" the switches / Jones Plugs You should check. NOTE: In the lower right corner I show again the "Switch on Player-Reset-Relay". I believe: An Error in the drawing - I would like to have an Normally-Closed-Switch.
The little manipulation***: It is awful to ALWAYS PLAY 3 OR 5 BALLS until You reach Game-Over (for testing the No-Match-Unit) -> If You manipulate the M+B-Switch -> during play the No-Match would fire (we are looking for a fault - we do not want to play) whenever *Match" AND the Score-Motor turns (through SCM-4A. IF YOU MANIPULATE THE M+B-SWITCH ON GAME-OVER-RELAY: Wrap around the three solder-lugs of the 3 blades a blank wire -> -> Not only at "GAME-Over - ALSO during play "the No-Match does fire".
If "No luck" -> we will use Jumper-Wires -> forcing current to flow / checking switches ...
