You may have seen a recent post about me restoring a rather battered hi deal. On servicing the score reels I’ve found an unattached wire, or maybe I’ve unattached it when removing the score reel! It’s on the 100 reel and someone’s obviously done some work on it before as they’ve used a terminal to attach 2 yellow wires and then extend them on. See first pic.
I found a pic taken before I moved the score reel. I think it shows the wire attached but can’t be sure. 2nd pic.

Can any hi deal owners take a quick look and work out which switch terminals on the 100 reel the (in your case possibly 2 yellow wires belong. My machine isn’t connected up yet so I can’t test to work our where these wire come from.

Thanks

They both should go to where the wire is connected , via that dodgy repair , you may need to extend the wire , Its the common wire i think ,
reel to reel on the same switch as the next , It probably just needs re-soldering to the tab , unless its broken off .
Its very common the wires come off because of rushed soldering at the factory . Williams EM games seem to have this problem the most .

I just noticed , i would tidy that other mess up too mate , The green, white and grey wires with the electrical tape.

Thanks. Looking at the 10 reel it looks like they pair of yellow wire, which are common got to two of the switch blade next to each other so it makes sense for this to be the same. Yes I’m going to tidy the other repair at the same time. Cheers
