Not familiar w/the game but is there a relay for each 'letter'? If so, I would check the switches on that relay to make sure clean and adjusted properly. If the other 'letters' are working then maybe you can compare to a working relay...if such.

Also, seeing your other thread on this game, what was the fix? Good to post so others can learn.

What does the schematic show?

There is probably not a letter relay; an "advance" function is usually accomplished by a step unit, usually in the bottom of the cabinet.

Where is Steve Fury, LTG or Ken Layton when you need some EM knowledge =)

They are possibly sitting this one out like me, without a schematic.

exactly. Not enough info to make an educated guess for me

There should be a complete unit that controls the letters. Without a schematic, you can remove the playfield glass and start a game. When ball ejects into the shooter lane, collect the ball.

Then raise the playfield and watch the relays beneath on the cabinet floor and playfield. Manually trigger the rollover that moves from A to B. You should see one relay unit activate. This unit probably has a stepper with a bakelite pad with contacts.

Once you have identified the stepper, manually activate the switch and watch the stepper. Keep manually activating to see the stepper for each letter. My guess is that you need to clean the bakelite contacts with sandpaper and alcohol. You should be able to turn them from dirty to bright brassy color.

For more details on cleaning your contacts, visit www.pinrepair.com and review the EM section.

That is what I would do SECOND.

The FIRST thing you need to do is order a schematic from PB Resource ASAP!!

Good Luck!

About time we change Gottliebs thinking on schematics and licensing

Well, someone (won't name him) is still making money on them. A shame really, he should let the schematics go public. After 30-50 years...there should be a law

George, your having the schematic and not being able to read it doesn't help us help you. Take pics of it in 3 or 4 sections, upload it to an album, post the link here.
