Hi,

After fixing a shutter panel issue (not closing after 1st ball enters playfield), readjusting sw #2a ball lift motor and ball gate switch, the shutter panel now closes. I think I now have another issue, concerning the Timer Unit.

The Timer Unit manually advances and resets snappy.

The Timer Unit does advance 1 step each time a ball is shot and entered the playfield.

After the 5th ball is shot, the Timer Unit advances and also advances a few more steps (not sure how many) but the motors stop running. Which I think is a good thing so it does not burn up.

I thought if the game was left idling (whirling/clinking/clacking) for a while it will then, I will say time-out and shut the motors down.

It only times-out after the 5th ball was shot.

If I press the yellow button for an extra ball, the Timer Unit advances every-so-often and it will eventually time-out with or without giving an extra ball.

Any thoughts/suggestion?

Thank You
Steve

Don't worry. It means that everything is fine.
After shooting the fifth ball the Timer Unit suppose to step up a few times, but when asking for a extra ball the Timer does reset.

Thanks bingobeast, I thought it should timeout regardless what ball I am on to save the motors and machine from burning up.
