    Hello all,
    I have 1976 Bally Wizard which I introduce a new problem.
    The problem is when the last ball is drained, I am suppose to see the match # and Game over, however neither the match # is light up and nor the Game over, even though the game is really over? any idea what to check? .
    by the way the bulbs are ok.

    Thanks

    Check this switch on the Game Over relay.

    For a switch to work 3 things are necessary:
    1) When open, there should be a small space between the contact points (duh)
    2) When closing, the long blade's contact point should push the short blade's contact point enough to move the short blade
    3) The contact points should be clean, which they usually will be if #2 is happening
