Hello folks. Thanks for trying to help me. I recently purchased a Bally Hokus Pokus machine that has a couple of issues. I never see the light that says "Opens Gate when lit" come on and never see the gate open. Even when I manually hit the target in front of it many times which I'm assuming activates it. I also hear a mechanism down below in the lower cabinet working and rotating which I thought would be adding points to my score after the ball has finished. The lights come on on the playfield in a circular fashion as if they're giving me points but nothing happens points wise on the scoring.Everything else on this machine appears to work fine as far as I can tell.If anyone knows more about this machine and what I might be able to check I would sure appreciate the info. Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for helping. What I did was find the connector you mentioned for the gate target light and set it to Liberal. The gate is now working and the light is always lit. Now the only thing not working is the Bonus points not being added to my score after the ball goes out. The mechanism is working that makes all the noise in the bottom cabinet and the lights on the bonus points count down but no points are added to my score.

Forgive my ignorance but could you please go more in depth? I have no idea what to do here.

Thank you guys for taking the time to try and help me. I did have some high quality contact cleaner and sprayed the contacts some on the scoring tumbler mechanism. After playing the game for awhile now I am beginning to see it score sometimes when it's activated. I think that I'll maybe either remove this unit and bench it cleaning the contacts with some light emery paper then blowing some compressed air. I know you folks frown on WD40 and contact cleaner so I don't want to try and take a shortcut. We'll see how things go after that.
