ArgosySK,

I cleaned and reseated the Jones plugs and now have power to the playfield. Checked the 1st coin chute it works fine, it is connected to the 3 rd coin chute coil. When activated this should fire the coin relay, it does not. If I press the 3rd coin chute closed tightly the score motor run, but the coin relay still does not activate. If I manually activate the coin relay I can play a game. I’m puzzled?

HowardR,

It does but what activates the coin relay.
I have credits, push the start button nothing. As I said manually pushing the coin relay starts a game. I don’t see what activates the coin relay other than the 1st coin chute?

This pin has 3 coin chutes, but only 2 are in the door. The 1st and 3rd coin chutes, the 2nd coin chute is not there. Does this cause a problem?

Thanks to ArgosySK I traced the problem to Switch 1F on the score motor it was not touching completely. The game now plays, but the ball does not kick out after the first ball is played. I will have to pull up the schematics and look into this. Thanks for everyone’s help so far. I will keep you posted on the outhole issue.

Kickout

I’ll check that this afternoon.
