I just picked up my third EM project machine since Xmas - these things seem to multiply without much effort. This one is a 1971 Williams Doodle Bug in overall excellent condition (a lucky find at only $140 with ~37k plays on the meter). The game is now sitting next to my non-working 1948 Bally Ballerina woodrail ($55) and 1961 Williams Ten Spot ($200) machines. It's time to finally dig into these games to get them up and running. I'm a newbie and apparently decided to dive in versus just sticking my toe in the water...

In doing a quick review of Doodle Bug at home, the only major issues I see are some disconnected wires and possible misalignment on two score reels. This causes the score reset relay to continuously fire. I'm sure there are other issues, but these stand out.

Does anyone have a scanned schematic of this game? There are a few older topics about this as well, but I am just double checking before giving PBR or Pinball Mike a call.

Thanks,
Ryan
