The "playmore" post on my Bally SpaceTime has a mind of it's own. I have worked my way through a few issues the previous owner considered 'fixes" and right now it works throughout ball play but does not go down/reset after each ball or between players or at end of game. It had been doing all these things but the issue was when in the down position it pulled down PAST the resting point and the coil held it there. It was so bad the ball could sit in it when in the down position. I found that the coil had been replaced with one that was stronger than the original. I put in the right sized coil and adjusted the DOWN POST relay mounted on the bottom of the playfield, it now goes up and down while the ball is in pay but as I mentioned does NOT reset properly.

ANY help is greatly appreciated, I feel like I fixed one problem and somehow created 3 others??!!?

Quoted from paintpins:

So your saying you replaced the coil and then adjusted the relay ,sounds like the relays contacts are too close/adjustment issue.
Also maybe the jones plug is dirty too.

Not sure if you have schematics but on IPDB they have them under the heading Documentation, that will help you show what wires are associated with the up-post unit.
