My Bally Boomerang has developed a puzzling issue.

When 100,000 points are scored, a light should illuminate behind the backglass, showing the player has reached that level.

While the lights worked in the recent past, they will not light now without manually engaging the coil in the back. This is the same for all 4 players. The bulbs are good. Everything else on the pin works well - no other symptoms.

What triggers these coils to close and illuminate the 100,000 light? Easy fix, or ???

Many thanks!

if it happens on all 4 players check the NC switch on the reset relay with the blu-w wire going to it.

Where will I find this switch?

on the reset relay on the mech. board , one of the relays on the long row of relays on the right. unplugging and removing the playfield may help you to work on the relay.

Dave,

Ok, so I've located that reset relay (see pic - 3rd from the bottom on the right), but I do not see the switch you refer to. Can you point it out for me?

Thanks.

After giving this more thought, I cleaned the reed switches on both the reset and lock and now it is working again.

Thanks for your help.
