Yep, mine is the same way. (Had to verify!) lol

Another Question - for the "rotating gate" on the left side, mine is only scoring /chiming - when the light is lit. Nothing if not lit. Is this correct?

Thanks! Mine is now not giving points or chimes without being lit (could have sworn it was before I started cleaning bonus & player units - different problem there but that one was solved), so armed with that info above, I'll start chasing that one down

Quoted from Runbikeskilee:

I have not played a Hang Glider, but the usual design might have the spinner score 1000 when lit and 100 when not lit.
The schematic (on ipdb) makes it appear that the scoring of the spinner (see location J-33) between the 1000-pt and 100-pt relays is controlled by a make/break switch in the dbl bonus relay. The path to the 100-pt relay also involves a m/b switch in the 500-pt relay.
schematic: https://www.ipdb.org/files/1112/HangGliderSchem.pdf

OK, found what you're talking about on the schematics. Now - as I'm getting points and chimes when the light is lit (1,000 points) , but I'm not getting anything when not lit (no 100 points)- does this mean my issue is with the MB switch on the 500 point relay?

I have to say, to get past my last problem (multi player issues) I had to pull the playfield out enough to get to the last few relays inside the cab. As I think this was working before I did that, could I have bent/squashed/broken something here in doing so? I lifted it up, pulled it forward about 6 inches to get inside the back of the cab, but very careful when lowering back down while I worked on it (maybe not careful enough?)

Just thinking I may have caused this one on my own here. ugh! If not, I'll hunt down the 500 pint relay to find that MB switch...

Any & all help is greatly appreciated!

Found it. And again thanks to your help. Checked both of those. Then looked at the schematics. And see that it also runs thru the Double Bonus relay.
Sure enough that one, along with the Player Reset relay are the two farthest inside the cab. When I cleaned the player reset I also cleaned the double bonus. Apparently I “adjusted” one blade of the MB on it. Now working. !! 100 Points and chime with no light. 1000 points and a diff chime with light on. Now 100% working - thank you! (And still another lesson learned)
