I have a Ballys odds and evens with a Ball Count Light That does not show what ball you are on.
The Ball count unit appears to be working , it goes from 1-5 and will go from 1-3 if you change the jumper.
The light on Ball number 1 and 5 blink when the game is started.
I do not have a schematic for this Game and will usually read to figure out an issue but this is a little above my head.
I have automotive electronic experience ,Home and general knowledge, i understand basic circuitry but after that lost.
The rest of the Machine functions as it should, I replaced a power cord cleaned some contacts, i did clean the ball count unit.
Adjusted flippers etc. Thanks!

Here's the circuit to diagnose the Balls to Play lights.

Pretty much the only thing to check in that circuit is the make/break switch on the game over trip relay.
Otherwise carefully trace the wiring to make sure it isn't broken anywhere.

Quoted from dr_nybble:

Otherwise carefully trace the wiring to make sure it isn't broken anywhere.

After the Game Over Trip relay switch, the next most likely thing is the Ball Count Unit. In either case, the usual wire-with-alligator-clips testing should narrow down the problem in short order.
