Maybe manually activate different things on pf and you might then see the relay moving?

Hi Droptarget
often there is a little stepper inside the Number-Match-Unit. Sometimes The No-Match-Unit turns a wiper for the Numbers to match - AND another wiper giving alternating (on / off) current to the Alternate-Relay (pulling / not pulling).

Great, ipdb.org has a schema "Stage Coach", http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2336 -> I must make a "righthandside Mouseclick" onto Schematic Diagram (continuous), then choose "Save Target as ..." -> make a Copy down onto my computer.

The schema says "Bottom Lane Alternate Relay" is shown at schema-A-17. And there I see: The Player-Unit and the "10-Point-Score-Reel of Player in Play" gives current to the Alternate-Relay (on / off).
Check for "broken-off" wire at Player-Unit, at Alternate-Relay. Maybe You must look at the Score-Reels (10 Points) on all players (?).

Hi Droptarget
Your posts 4 and 5 make me ask:
Did You find the fault (Alternate Relay) ?
I do not see a connectedness between a "wiper not making contact" and a missing coil (?).
"No Match Unit not working" - a new (not mentioned) problem ?
Have You considered buying a schema ? (burnt coils, switches bent, missing parts, units not working -> for basic "Start-up problems" we can use a "CC-Schema of that time (Stage Coach)", When its getting into "specific playfield features": A schema would be veryvery helpful, time saving).

I had a look in the schema "Stage Coach" - didn't find a Match-Feature.
The flyer in ipdb.org says "Beatnik has a No Match Unit". In the schema "Cinema" I see: 3 Playfield Rollover Buttons make the unit step -> Beatniks schema ?

The way the No-Match-Unit is stepped ? - worth a discussion in EM-Hang-Out (?).

So far: "Cinema uses playfield switches = Type AAA" (Do I not see it correct ?)

In "Schema Bally Flip-Flop" I have seen: ON SCORE MOTOR: Cam 12 is NOT built "180 degree identical". A Turn of the Score-Motor (WMS and Bally) is 180 degree -> On Flip-Flop: Every second turn a switch is closed ...TYP BBB"

Looking at the schema Gtb "Surf Champ": I believe: "The Match Unit is stepped ONLY at Start-up through pulses of the Z1-Reset-Relay (thats also random) Typ CCC".

We are used to have a "Switch mounted on lowest-digit-Relay (1 Point, more moden pins: 10 Points) Typ DDD"

I believe: "I have seen pins with "a Switch on lowest-digit-Relay AND on secondlowest Relay, Typ EEE".

More Types ? Wiring in Beatniks ? Buying a schema ?

Greetings Rolf

Hi Droptarget
in my post-6 there is a error / fault: No Match Type BBB does NOT exist. I mixed up " activating No Match unit" <-> "activating Alternate Relay". Truth is: "Bally Flip-Flop Cam-12" does activate the Alternate Relay. Greetings Rolf

Hi Droptarget
You got it cheap, You are not loaded with bread - as long as we are on "basic stuff": We can use information from ipdb.org. When You have problems with game-specific playfield-features: A schema would be helpful.

Great, the Alternate Relay worked - not so great: again "not working". I must ask - when adjusting the 9's switches: did You bend something (other) has a wire broken-off somewhere ? (DID YOU ADJUST SWITCHES ?)

No-Match Unit: The Flyer in ipdb says : YES.
It does not work. I never had a look into a Chicago-Coin pin. I do not know, if CC-Pins let the No-Match Unit turn - EVEN when the feature is "toggled-off" ? Anyway, look and adjust to "On": The Jones plug, see Dolphin: http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=699&picno=18684&zoom=1 - on the picture it is set "In/On". Wires soldered on ? plugs and sockets clean ?
By the way: Do You have it on 5 balls per play (I prefer) - or on 3 balls per play ?

When The No-Match-Adj-Switch is not in the Cabinet: look in the Backbox. Williams used on my Shangri-La a "switch to turn". If the switch is in the cabinet: There must BE wires from the switch up into the Backbox (for Score-Reels / Replay-Counter) - therefore: check ALL Jones Plugs connecting in-between Cabinet / Backbox (/ advised: Playfield).

ipdb has schema / manual for Dolphin - (almost) good for nothing. Lets look at Juke Box: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1324 -> look at "Parts Manual" -> page-30 -> Number "6" is the only switch I see, I suppose it is the "End-of-Stroke-Switch (to open the circuitry of the related Points-Relay). I do not see other switches. Number "1" is the Wiper Finger Assembly, on PAGE-36 I see a drawing of "Scoring Drum Assembly". I believe: I see 6 wiper fingers. YOU MUST BE the detectiv: When You sneak a thin piece of paper in between "Board" and wiperfinger (insulation): The finger can move / turn - BUT there is never a connection. Try on several / all fingers - Can You say "finger-alpha is for "9-pos-carry-over"" ? Other fingers are for ???
Are some "copper traces" on the board connected ? 1 and 3 and 5 and 7 and 9 (all together) ? This would give a hint for "used for Alternate Relay" ?

We might have to use Jumper-Wires for testing. We must KNOW the "color of (I believe) 30 Volt Power-Wire". Look at the bottom of ipdb-schema Stage Coach, the transformer: Transformer-Power-side -> wire-color-white-Green -> FUSE -> wire-WHITE IS THE POWER-WIRE WE WANT TO IDENTIFY. Does Your pin also have Wire-WHITE for "POWER". Look at "coils on relays" - most have on "one lug" at the coil a wire-color-WHITE soldered-on --- the other lug(s) have many different colors (wires soldered-on).
Can You find out and GARANTEE "POWER-WIRE HAS COLOR-???" (I hope for "White") ?

Please look for Color (Power-Wire) , Adj. switch(es), Jones Plugs, Score-Reel Wipers - and write about. Next steps depending on Your answers.
