Quoted from Kenanderson0215:I am still having a problem with the ball count unit reset solenoid not getting power to reset after the third ball. Should the coin relay energize as soon as that ball drops? I am going by the following drawing[quoted image]
The Coin relay and Ball Count reset solenoid should only activate at the beginning of a game.

Quoted from Kenanderson0215:So when and how does the ball count reset solenoid get power to energize?
You're welcome.
For details, see step 2D on Sheet 3 of the manual

Thank you for the help. It looks like my game is having a problem on sheet 4 paragraph 1d. When the third ball drops, the ball count solenoid goes crazy until I push down the reset solenoid.

Is that the Ball Count Reset solenoid or the Ball Count Step Up solenoid?
Quoted from Kenanderson0215:until I push down the reset solenoid.
You mean the Reset relay, right?
If I push the reset relay over, or just push down the ball count reset solenoid, the ball count solenoid stops chattering back and forth.
Is the game going to Game Over condition after the third ball drains?
I am presuming it is set for a 3 ball game.

Sorry it has been so long for me to reply, but things have been a little crazy. Anyway I found a used ball count unit on eBay and swapped it out. The new ball count unit fixed my chattering problem, but now once the first ball drops, the whole game resets to ball one. I am so close, it has to be something so simple.
