I moved this over from the main topic board. Thanks

Hi, thanks for any help you can give me!!! New owner of a bally all star deluxe bowler. I have two questions on how it works. Game plays great but will not give me a strike or spare. If I knock down all the pins on the first ball, it will still give me a second ball with nothing to shoot at. After the second ball with nothing to shoot at, it will score me 10 pins like they all went down but no strike. Same if it takes me two balls to get all the pins down. No strike or spare awarded, but scores me ten pins. Same for both players. Both steppers for strikes and spares work fine. Thanks for any help you can give me!!! Brian.

Thanks for the ideas. I have checked and rechecked all those pins 10 times!! I assume since it awards me 10 points it knows all the pins are down? I checked the large steppers and cleaned the wipers. I ordered a schematic today. I may be back for more ideas or help reading the schematic!! Thanks, Brian

Thanks. The 1-10 is not getting triggered. When I do it manually, it works as it is supposed to. Ordered the schematic today. Hopefully that helps. I have been all over those bank contacts. I’m sure it will be something Easy, but sure is frustrating.

Thanks guys. Checked the coil and it is good. I will keep hunting!! By the way, what is the 5 pin sw’s coil for? Not sure I have ever triggered that either. Thanks.

Sorry guys for the delay, just got around to taking a 3rd look after I got the manual. Wow was the manual helpful. Turns out I was missing a whole switch blade. Can’t believe I missed it. Took a thorough look last night and found it. Thanks everyone for the ideas. I appreciate the help!! Fun game and plays great now.
