Hi pinbrick
see JPG-there - marked "light-blue": You manipulated the Coin-Relay to be "pulled-in" - Switch on Coin-Relay is closed and so the Score-Motor makes a turn.
To the right of this - more marked light-blue: The Score-Reels have some points*** on the Reels - one or more of the 16 switches is / are closed, Switch on Game-Over-Relay*** is closed, Reset-Relay will be activated and establishes "Self-Hold-Current through "marked dark-blue".
This does not work in Your pin, so try: Push onto the "armature / anchor plate" of Reset-Relay. Does the pin start the game / reset ?
The Score-Reels have some points***: A fully functioning pin DOES start a new game with ALL 16 Score-Reels beeing at Zero-Position --- when troubleshooting I like to have some points on the Score-Reels to clearly see and hear: The pin does reset. So I suggest: ALWAYS put some points on "one or two of the Score-Reels of player-1".
Switch on Game-Over-Relay***: The schema is drawn in a specific state*** - during start-up / playing many of the switches are moved - and moved back - maybe moved again and on and on --- we must think into the schema "where are we now in the lifetime of a game" - is this and this switch at the very moment "open or closed". When we start a game: Switch on Game-Over-Relay*** is closed.
Schema drawn in a specific state*** - on "Bally / Gottlieb / Williams pins": A game for ONE player has been started, reset is done, ball is kicked over to the Shooter-Alley ready to play (ball is not launched, no points are made), Line-Cord is UNPLUGGED - NO CURRENT in the pin, so simple relays do not pull. BUT
during a reset: Game-Over-Relay is moved - it is "latched / untripped" --- and unplugging the Line Chord has no effect on the Game-Over-Relay - it stays latched (ready to play).
WE WANT to start a game - WE WANT the Game-Over-Relay tripped and so Switch on Game-Over-Relay*** closed.
Want to try ?: Do Your tests twice - one time the Game-Over-Relay in state "A, tripped" - then the same test(s) with the relay beeing in state "B, latched" - You simply fumble / press on the anchor-plates before You do the same test ...
Greetings Rolf
