Oh, lol, the cams are the number and the switches are the letters...? I JUST noticed what looks to be a label for which number for the cams

Well that did it rolf, I pulled the reset relay off the board where I could get to it good and the contacts seemed fairly far apart so I adjusted it slightly and cleaned them all real good... Boom, I have a fully functional pin!

I'm going to take a shot at a diagnosis and suggest the assignment came out of whack, probably created a little carbon with some bigger sparking and dirtied up the contacts, when the coil came loose. Maybe?

Anyway, thanks so much Rolf and everyone who helped me through it. I'll be back with another one soon I'm sure

Ron S-The stacks are usually labeled, but if not usually start #1 at the front. Lettering goes from the bottom up. Loosen the screws a bit so you can clean them with a swab and 91# alcohol easier.

Ooop, just saw that it's fixed! Great, and please check as "resolved."

Quoted from Ron_S:

Unreal! So, I went into town yesterday and pulled into the Staples parking lot...and their gone! No sign, no furniture...looks like they could have been gone for a year as far as I know. Lol, shows how often I get into town. Then I went to the Office Max and their machine is "down"! No luck at all with this. Anyway, I'm posting my so-so scan. I have Office Max guy's card and I'll be calling to find out when the machine is fixed.

Hello,

My father own's a Bally Circus pinball for years. Now that he retired he can spend time trying to fix it. But unfortunatly he don't have the schematics of it.
Would you mind to send me a hi-resolution copy of the ones in post#15 of this topic ? I've tried to make a print but low-res make it unreadable. I need a paper version cause my father is not used to manipulate a PC. Many thanks. Have a sweet 2018 !

Numbering usually starts at the front, and lettering from the bottom up. Any rate, #1 will be taller than the last one.

Cris, I got the good scan done at OfficeMax finally! There was a guy in one of my original posts that gave me a link to where to upload it... I'll have to go back and find that again. It's a 4MB file and exceeds my email limit but if you want to PM me with an email address I can add you to my Google drive share too. Either way, I'm still running errands whole I'm in town so will be later today.
