I'm trying to figure out how the magnet motor works, more specific how it knows what direction to turn.
I'm studying the schematics and can't figure it out so I must be missing something (or schematics are incomplete) ?

There are 2 switches, 81 and 83 at each end of the magnet, so the game knows if it's in the far left or far right side (p2-46 in manual).
So I'd think when the magnet is at one side it turns the motor in one direction (to get away) until it reaches the other side. And there it switches its direction to go back.

When I look at the solenoids (p2-45, 3-8) I only see one solenoid used for the motor - nr 28 magnets motor - J107-6 and 122-4).
The schematics (3-10, 3-27) also only show that connection going to the motor emi board.

So how does it actually work ? I would think there's another solenoid/flasher output used so there should be a third wire going to the motor driver board to say if the motor has to turn clockwise or counterclockwise ?

ah thanks should've looked under the playfield instead of in the manual
