I'm working on a Monte Carlo and having issues getting a game to start. The part that's puzzling me is a set if make/break switches on Cam 1. That's the cam nearest the motor. In fact, all switches on that cam are opposite of what it shows in the schematic.

I'm wondering if that cam has somehow rotated out of position. Could someone with this game take a picture of that cam and the wiring on the top switch? I can't get the credit relay to energize because the cam switch is open.

Anyone with a Monte Carlo able to help by getting a picture of the score motor at home position?

No, but are the switches in index position?
Meaning: the switches should be in rest position (index), there is a switch that "helps" the motor to this position.
Mostly the one on the top, and is a n.o. in index position, it is located on the first cam nearest to the motor.
9 times out of 10 this helps to get most of the functions working (as a starting point!)

Sorry. I finally got this one figured out.

The top switch E on cam 1 is the make/break switch that turns off the score motor when it rotates 180 degrees and opens when it hits the index position. Between the make/break switch and the common yellow wire are the coin door chute switches on the coin door. It was these chute switches that weren't connected. Therefore the only time the score motor turned was when the outhole relay closed, reset relay closed, etc.

Long story short, it was the coin chute switches causing the problem. Connected those into the circuit and works perfectly.
