Mariner
Bally, 1971I have a Mariner I am working where someone felt the need to cut al the wires of the coin system except the one for the coin and credit.
Would like some pictures of the left side of the bottom board where I can identify the wiring, even the lead is "mislead" on this one.
I already placed a bunch back in its place and replaced some relays, but it is quite a lot to chew, about 20 or more wires cut of.
Thanks for the pictures, makes a lot clear already, on this machine there is also a relay added reading 2DM for extra credits I think.
If I'm seeing it in the right way, the lead (black) goes from the lock back and ends on the reset relay?
If you have a picture from the tilt backwards to the last relay, here is a part of "making your own line" done, even some lines added for making the outhole work and a strange way to add credits.
Removed most of it already, now making it complete again.
Door has only the two wires for the credit button, so, for this winter I will have something to do.
Quoted from wizardblom:lead (black) goes from the lock back and ends on the reset relay?
Yes. here's better pic of it:
For now...I can rewire the lead and a lot of other wires.
Thanks, felt like a (almost) mission impossible...
Doesn't say that it will be fixed in a couple of days, more like weeks.
But, always better than using it for parts.
Will post pictures when it is up and running again.

If it makes you feel any better, this is my project that got cut up. Good luck! Never say never!

This is my 1963 Bally Star-Jet project. Highly desirable and rare, some call it the "EM grail" due to the multiball function and super desirable space art package. GRC/Gameroom Collectibles painted swear words on it, smashed it up and cut up the harness to part out the machine, I saved it at last second. Most of it was already boxed up in pieces. It was a working machine. There are less than 25 or so known to still exist worldwide with only 1,050 originally produced.
I am rewiring the head from scratch.
