We'll after buying that low ball count Big Shot almost a year ago and then taking it apart, cleaning and then leaving it sit for 9 months my buddy and I spent all weekend getting it put back together, running, and then tweaked.

I like it.

Fast, Unforgiving, and I can't get a great score to save my life, but it's a keeper for me.

I will post some pictures later for all.

Still have a few things to sort out and a part I need everyone's help with.

The 7 bank drop targets have a series bar inside which lets a switch activate when all the targets are down.

It turns out the right banks is missing. Anyone know if Steve has these. Part number is A-14535.

Or if someone has a donor 7 bank that I can buy the part from let me know.

2 other things

Once in a while it won't switch between players after a ball. I'm going to work on the stepper and hopefully that will clear things up.

Lastly, it's not giving games for points. It does score games for specials so I know some things are working right. Not sure where the problems lie, but will pore over the schematics today, but if anyone has a suggestion let me know.

Thanks,

Bert

Hoov, I figured it was with the Players Unit Steeper. I've adjusted and re-cleaned the contacts and it appears that it has cleared up the problem.

PinHead, while I haven't figured out the scoring issue yet you have helped me big time. While looking at the schematic I couldn't figure out what P1A and P1B was. While checking the player unit I didn't know what the extra contacts were for and now I know so thanks.

Trough switch is good.

Going to go through the scorereels again (as Hoov suggests) and use PinHeads method to move from place to place to try and pinpoint this issue.

Thanks.

Well the Big Shot, she is a fickle bitch.

Thanks to you folks and some detective work I was able to get the winning credits working correctly.

It was a combination of the Players unit and a problem score reel.

Adjusting the Players unit and Player 1 starting operating correctly.

There was also a problem with the thousands reels on Player 2. Some more adjusting and voila everything was working great as far as winning credits was concerned.

Then the 10's on Player 1 stopped resetting and the lights on the score reel on Player 2 quit lighting but Player 2 kept working correctly.

Turns out I messed up a couple switches on the players unit while adjusting for he other issues.

Everything seems good now and the machine is running 100% except for the broken drop target bar which I need to order.

Will post some pictures on Tues.

Thanks for all the help.

Bert
