Hi durgee7
in short - pull out the Adj-Plug "2 Coins 3 Plays" and lay it nearby on the wooden panel --- none of the 4 plugs shall touch metal. Then start a new game - does the "original fault" still happen ?
If "Yes": I will wine, cry.
If "No" - as a temporary (fix / ) work-around: Look at the socket of this Adj stuff - in position "3" ONLY the plug with wire-color-green gets into contact with another wire (of color-brown) - unsolder this wire-color-brown away from its socket-solder-lug and tape the unsoldered end of this wire.
With this unsoldering done: Plug-in the plug in position three - none of the plugs will get into contact with another wire (socket) - the plug is stored away.

Thanks for post-55 and the pictures. I had a look at - grumble, You show a relay "2nd Coin Relay" - BUT it is the "2 Coins 3 Plays Relay" - I started do draw my JPG --- hey, in the beginning of post-30 I wrote about "wacky theory" --- lets look again at this wacky theory (see the JPG, lower right corner): IF (if, if) You have an faulty always closed switch on 3rd Coin Chute Relay (or the relay is faulty pulling) --- If You have the Adj-Plug "2 Coins 3 Plays" in position-1: Original fault (when Score-Motor-Cam-8 actuates its switchstack), if You have the Adj-Plug "2 Coins 3 Plays" in position-3: Faulty stepping up the Replay-Counter like crazy. Greetings Rolf

Hi durgee7
great - by unplugging You made / make it impossible the "original fault" to show up.
AAA - You put the unplugged plug into a paper or plastic bag - tape the opening of the bag - none of the four plugs (in the bag) can get into contact with metal like wires or solderlugs.
BBB - The socket of the "2Coins 3 Play Adj." has in position 3: Three sockets without a wire soldered-on. The fourth socket (in pos-3) has soldered-on two wires of color-brown. You unsolder these two wires away from the socket - the two wires must still be soldered together. You tape this place on "wire-brown", You now have four empty sockets (in pos-3) so You can plug-in the Adj-Plug in to pos-3.

AAA and BBB are work-arounds to make it impossible the fault to show up.
CCC is (trying) to fix the fault - either the 3rd Coin Chute Relay is faulty pulling (and the switch is entitled to be closed (as the relay is pulling)) - or the relay is not pulling but the "Switch on 3rd Coin Chute Relay" is faulty always closed - the switch has soldered-on wire of color green (as the wire-green on the Adj-Plug) and has soldered-on wire of color black-white.
Toggle-off the pin, unplug the main power cord - locate the 3rd Coin Chute Relay and its switch open when the relay is not pulling ? solderlug bent ? drop of solder ? doghair crap of wire ? Maybe want to try the trick with the sneaked-in stripe of paper ?
Plug-in the main power cord --- You watch the relay - ask Your kid to toggle-on the pin: Does the rela pulls-in ? Ask Your kid to start a game: Does the relay pulls-in ?

DDD - Maybe You do not have the 3rd Coin Chute Relay ?

Write about AAA or BBB or CCC or DDD, greetings Rolf

Hi durgee7
thanks for the flowers. In post-32, fourth picture, open Coin-Door: I had / have the impression You have TWO Coin slots --- do You have two or three ? Depending on Your answer we do troubleshoot. See the first JPG - the wiring to feed the Coil of the 3rd Coin Chute Relay - when You press the Credit-Button: The 3rd Coin Chute Relay shall not pull-in.

See the second JPG - I drew "yellow lines" --- from one side of the coil on a relay a wire runs to switch mounted on the relay --- on Your 3rd Coin Chute Relay I am not sure - cannot see it - question: Does a wire runs from (one side of) the coil on Your 3rd Coin Chute Relay - runs to a switch mounted on the relay ? what colors on the wires on this switch You see ? Greetings Rolf

Hi durgee7
thanks for looking up - thanks for the pictures (post-63). Good, a short wire runs from one side (solderlug) of the coil --- runs to a solderlug on a switch mounted on the relay, the 3rd Coin Chute Relay. You say the wire is of color-red-white - the schematics says color-white-red. You have also checked the other side of the coil - wire-color-red-black - the schematics says color-black-red. This we can see in the first JPG in post-62. "Red-black / black-red" is the Power-Side-Connection coming from the transformer-POWER-SIDE (((in this Power-Side-Connection is a switch on Delay-Relay but the switch is closed most of the times))). "Red-white / white-red" is the beginning of connection towards Transformer-Lug-Yellow is returning side of the transformer. In this wiring towards Transformer-Yellow is / are one or more switch(es) to let current flow. Williams and Bally pins have "switches to actuate relays (current shall flow through windings on coils) - switches in the Return-Line-to-transformer" ( - Gottlieb has switches to actuate relays in the POWER-SIDE connection to the coils).
O.K. You press the Credit-Button and the 3rd Coin Chute Relay faulty pulls in - we must investigate "downwards in the JPG - my "marked orange / blue / brown" wires and switches. See in the JPG straight down "my blue" wire to "3rd Coin Chute (Switch)" - but You don't have such a 3rd Coin Chute - how is it wired in Your pin ? See the first JPG in post-62, upper right corner - the short wire from one side of the coil coming to one lug on a switch mounted on the relay --- how many wires are soldered-on on that lug on the switch ? One is the short wire coming from the coil - and then ONE or TWO or THREE - how many ?

Remember my AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD in post-60 --- I now come up with FFF: You may decide "I (means You) unsolder the short connecting wire (coil to switch) away from the solderlug on the coil and tape the unsoldered end of this short wire" - with this unsoldering You make it impossible for the coil to get current - the 3rd Coin Chute Relay never can actuate - and when all the switches on the relay are adjusted correct: You then can plug-in into third position "Plug 2 Coins 3 Play" and start games by pressing the Credit-Button. This FFF is as the AAA and the BBB: Work-around, not a true fix.

Oooups - in the first JPG in Your post-63 I see on both Coin Chutes the text: "1 Play 1 Quarter / 3 Plays 2 Quarters", hmm - the FFF, AAA, BBB may make it impossible for You to use the Coin Chutes (?) - we never have talked about Your Coin Chutes - what happens when You throw-in one quarter ? what happens when You throw-in two quarters ? How much interested are You in "having fully functioning Coin Chutes" ?

Besides "everything written above": I am interested in the result of a test: Toggle-off the pin and unplug the main power cord, then sneak-in a stripe of paper inbetween the contactpoints / switchblades on that switch ( short wire runs from coil on 3rd Coin Chute Relay - runs to switch mounted on the relay) - THIS switch please make "always open" as You sneak-in the stripe of paper. Then plug-in, toggle-on - watch the relay - start a game - does NOW the 3rd Coin Chute Relay pull-in ? or does it not pull-in ? Greetings Rolf

P.S. pinballbrian : Do You still read the posts in this topic ? How many Coin Chutes do You have ? Do they work ? What text do You have on the Coin Chutes ? How do You have them plugged ?

Hi Rolf,yes i have been following thread a little.just happened to look at thread today.i see you have note for me.i have 2 coin chutes. ( see pic). NO,I don't think they work. I dont understand text on chutes,but will send pics.i hope this helps.if you need better pics,just ask.rolf,you helped me get my machine playing on DC circuit side.game plays,but no kickers,and other functions if you remember.i never completed game where I can push start and game plays. ( you may have to look back at old forum,that's where I left off a year or so.want to finish this winter.again thanks.

Hi Rolf,durgee.just wanted to say what my old forum was,(Bally alladins castle won't reset,resolved).only it was not totally resolved.ha ha.hope to finish this winter.i will keep up with this forum.again thanks.

Hi durgee7
end of vacation and back to the Aladdin's Castle. Thanks for the pictures and the video. In the video I clearly see the stripe of paper inbetween the contactpoints on the Self-Hold-Switch on the 3rd Coin Chute Relay. I see that the relay pulls-in when You press the Credit-Button / Start-Button.

The reason I asked You to do this test (sneaked-in stripe of paper) is: When a relay (at start-up) faulty pulls-in and faulty stays pulling we usually say "stuck playfield switch". See the JPG - You have on Your playfield FOUR stand-up switches behind some rubbers worth 10 points --- locate one, then when the pin is "in play": With a finger press the switch closed for 10 to 30 seconds - You simulate "stuck playfield-switch" - You endlessly feed (10 to 30 seconds respectively) Initial-Current to the Coil on the 10-Point-Relay. 95 out of 100 such problems truely are "stuck playfield switch" - BUT in the JPG we see: Also Self-Hold-Current (my orange stuff) feeds to the Coil. When the pin is in play and You hold the tip of a screw-driver*** at both blades of the Self-Hold-Switch (the switch with the short wire running to one of the coil-solderlugs): You will get "machine-gunning of the relay and the Score-Drum" - You make a faulty always closed "10 Point Re. Switch, encircled brown" --- the "1st Player 10-90 Unit (Score-Drum) E.O.S., encircled brown" actuates and actuates and You have the machine gunning. IF (if, if) this E.O.S.-Switch accidentally, faulty never opens: You then would have the same symptoms as "stuck playfield-switch". But 95% of this kind of fault ARE stuck playfield switches.
Your "3rd Coin Chute Relay is very mysterious - so I asked You to do the test "sneaked-in stripe of paper" to make sure the fault You have is NOT a faulty closed Self-Hold-Switch on the 3rd Coin-Chute Relay --- the faulty pulling-in of the relay happens through the "Initial-Current wiring".

We have talked about the "FFF" - unsoldering the short wire running from switch to coil - unsoldering away from the lug on the coil and tape the unsoldered end of the wire.
Then after unsoldering: Start a game - what happens ? Are You happy with what You get ? When You throw-in a Coin: What happens ?
Is Your pin already set to "Free Play" - "Free Play" means: We have Zero Credits on the Replay-Counter but when we press the Credit-Button / Start-Button: The pin tries to subtract an replay - but mechanically it is not possible - nice: And the pin then starts a new game.
Many owners of an EM-Pin (me also) have set their pins to "Free Play".

We can look further at the "Throwing-in a coin" and the setting of the different Adjustments in Your pin (I am motivated to help) - but first I would like You to do the "unsoldering of the short wire" - and then later we look further at the "Throwing-in a coin" etc. Greetings Rolf

P.S.: "Tip of a screw-driver***": You well might only read my writing about the tip of a screw-driver*** and NOT do the test --- You well might only read my writing about simulating an stuck switch on the playfield. Most of my writing in this post is "rather theory".

Hi durgee7
when You can live with "what we have by now": Make a good descriptin of "have unsoldered and taped the end of the unsoldered wire" - mention in the description papertags - do put papertags on unsoldered wires. Also make an description of "what still does not work". (((I do forget within a couple of weeks and then, later I need an good description of what I have done.
Is Your pin set to "Free Play" ? Please write. Pins in Home-Use really should be set to "Free-Play".

It would be nice to have working Coin Chutes - I wonder what happens when (pin is toggled, on - You wear rubber gloves, exercise care as there is 48VAC in the pin) when You manually press the armature of "2nd Coin Chute Relay".
You may play Your pin for a couple of weeks - then say "want to have the Coin Chutes working" - revive this topic - or by now You already say "want to have the Coin Chutes working" ...

In Your pictures (post-70) I see "stand-up Leaf-Switch behind rubber - usually worth 10 points". The fault "10 points-Relay pulls-in and stays pulling forever" is very often caused by a stuck stand-up Leaf-Switch" and the reason that this is caused very often is: We take away the old rubbers, clean the playfield and accidentally bend such a switch closed --- or: After cleaning we mount new rubbers --- they are a bit thicker than the old ones - an "adjusted tight stand-up switch" is now closed by the new, thicker rubber. Greetings Rolf

(((P.S.: I have a problem of matching: My description of the FFF (post-64) does not match Your description at beginning of post-70)))
