I picked up a nice big brave from a friend of mine that needed the space, but Im having a little trouble with a particular issue. Every Time a 500 point switch is made on the playfield 500 points are scored and then the the reset bank is reset, but if I coin up a second player the switch scores 500 points just fine.

I also noticed something while in the backbox. When I was checking to see if the score reels carried over correctly I saw that the little mini stepper(AS relay?) steps up when player one scored, but not when player two scores.

The player unit in the head seems to be working fine and the switches look like they are gapped properly. The only thing I haven't really looked at is the score motor. I wasn't sure if that would have anything to do with a problem between players. Ive been watching a lot of Clay's videos and reading the pinrepair site, so Im slowly learning all this stuff. If anyone has any ideas I would love some help.

Thanks!

Evening bump. I'll be fiddling with it some more tonight so maybe I can figure some stuff out

Not yet, but my friend is going to drop it off in the next couple of days

No?

That's interesting. I never would have guessed that. Thanks!

Yes the control bank is what I was meaning. I'll check it out and see what's going on with U and report back. Thanks for the help!

The U relay is closing when the 500pts are scored. I started checking the score motor switches, but Im going to wait until my flex stone gets in so I can clean while I adjust the switches.

Here is a quick video of what is going on with the game. The audio is really low, so I apologize for that. I call the control bank the "reset bank" for some reason, so thats what Im talking about if youre confused In addition to the video, the game is still resetting the control bank when 500points are scored.

Ok, I went through the entire bottom board, including the score motor. Cleaned contacts with flexstone, and regapped the switches. There were a few switches were out of whack including the gameover relay. It seems like all the problems in the video are fixed now, but the original problem(control bank resets when 500pts are scored) is still happening.

I did find two blue jumpers in the bottom of the cabinet, so thats scary. No Idea what they came off of. IMG_2700.jpgIMG_2672.jpgIMG_2673.jpg

The u relay only fires ones after the scores reset now. Anytime the score motor is twisted manually, it triggers the u bank. Not sure I thas suppose to happen or not but I thought it was worth mentioning. Scoring 500pts still only triggers U on player one

Sorry. It triggers the u relay which then triggers the control bank.

Well I took the head off and went through it and the relay board again and Im happy to report that all the major issues with the game have been resolved! The only thing else I have to figure out is why the chimes are intermittent even though I cleaned it all up.

Thank you to everyone who chimed in on this thread, especially DirtFlipper! Its wierd, but I think I may enjoy tinkering with EM's more than SS
