Hello Pinsiders, I am having issues with my pin. It powers up, GI works after a left flipper press and the lock coil comes on. The coin counter does not register and the flippers do not work. I can add to the credit wheel manually and start a game with the reset coil but the flippers still do not work. If I start a game manually and I press the game start, the left flipper goes off. I checked continuity to the coin counter to the jones plug and all wires are fine. Cleaned/ checked the contacts on the pertinent coils. Disassembled the stepper in the back box and cleaned it because it was sluggish to advance and reset. Cleaned the wipers on the ball count and player count. Checked continuity on the game start switch and coin door tilt. I have a schematic, but I am a bit lost on how to go about the next step. Any help would be appreciated. There was a couple of wires on the coin box door that had the insulation damaged and I repaired it. Cheers

I mean the microswitch that registers the coins as they are deposited. This should add credits to the credit wheel but it does not.

Yes I get scores from the playfield. Everything scores as it should

Hi Rolf, when I mean start a game manually, I activate the reset relay. When I do that the score motor and reels reset but the flippers dont work. During this manually started game, if I hit the game start button on the coin door, the left flipper energizes. It doesn't lock on, but the game start button acts like a flipper button. When I manually start a game with the coin coil, I get the same result. When I start a manual game with any coil, the credit and lock coils are on

I checked that resistor. It has continuity. But I'm not sure which switch to check on the score motor?

Thanks rolf. The exposed wires were not the problem. I just noticed them and taped up the insulation. I tested all the coin door wires and they check out OK. As fas as the playfield, everything scores as it should with the slingshots, and bumpers.

Thanks for the tips Den. Orange/white and yellow were jumped and it activates the right flipper. Yellow and orange/black controls left flipper. Can you post a pic of your left flipper button wiring? I think Maye that is a problem. Thanks
