Hi,

I've got a 1977 Carnival that I am trying to get up and running. It's in play mode but I can't seem to get a game to end! It just seems to continually give me a new ball. I'm new to pins (and EM too!) so I'm not too good on how to read the jumper configurations. But I suspect the replay jumpers are a bit muddled up.

Can someone help me understand how to read the replay jumpers? There's a photos of the jumpers at the moment and the replay sheet from the head.

Thanks!

Hi jeremyisme
welcome to pinside. A good site for spanish pins is http://www.tecnopinball.org/doc_biblioteca.php - well, they do not have the schematics to Carnival , Rio . They do have (in spanish) the schematics to Speak Easy - hmm. I look for other playmatics - for New World I have a (lousy) schematics - see the first JPG - a connecting wire from left to right to give an replay at an specific combination on the Score-Drums. See the second and third JPG - I added "connecting wire" to Your pictures.

Want to write down how it is plugged in Your pin - then take the connecting wires out - plug-in just one connecting wire - try different "connections left to right" - do You get replays at different scores ? Greetings Rolf

Shouldn’t there only be 2 jumpers in place?

I don't think so. Why do you say that?

I’m far from an EM expert, but if you are following the legend, in order to get 460,000 you would have a Jones plug in the 400,000 and one in the 60,000. By having other Jones plugs in the other slots wouldn’t it confuse the game?

In your example, OP would have a jumper from the 400k socket to the 60k socket. Having a second jumper (for example) from the 500k socket to the 20k socket wouldn't cause any problem.

Interesting and good to know.

So I have a Playmatic. Here are pics of my setup. Does it make it difference?

Hey, thanks guys. I will give these a try and let you know. I have a feeling someone has just plugged everything in that they could find and that's what I have showing. I will try plug it in to just two pins and try for a simple replay score and see what happens. There's some odd behaviour all around in the pin, but I suspect it is a number of issues, so I'll try this step first and see what happens.

Thanks!

Keep me posted. I have a Playmatic, while not the same game the internals should be similar.

Here is how my Jolly Ride looks. It's set to give a reply (extra ball actually) at 55000 and 99000.
