Hi Jonathan, Welcome to pinside.

Gottliebs of that era show the complete reset sequence on a page in the manual.

One normally open switch and two make/break switches. A means a normally open switch, B means normally closed, and C means make/break. This relay has 1 normally open, 3 normally closed, and 3 make/break.

As Chad noted, they can be fiddly. They are short throw and quite often people have monkeyed with them and bent the long blades or gotten them in the wrong slot.
