On my Captain Fantastic, the four lamps at the top of the backglass that light when a player goes over 100,000 do not light. That God awful buzzer goes off, but the four lights ate out. They do light when I manually trip each player's OTT relay.
Any thoughts?
Quoted from TimMe:The 100K relays on CF are not latch-trip (at least, not according to the schematic). It looks like they are regular relays that lock themselves on when actuated. When you push on a 100K relay, does that 100K relay coil energize and stay pulled in by itself? If it does, then the EOS switch on the corresponding 10K score unit is probably out of whack.
Oh Great Swami TimMe,
I found it, thanks to your help. The answer to the above question is yes, so I took another look at the double make EOS switches on players 1 & 2 10K to 90K score reels. The switches nearest the metal bracket seemed to be closing on players 1 & 2 when the coil was energized, but I cleaned them and tightened the gaps. That did it! They were dirty and looked closed but they weren't. Players 3 & 4 EOS switches had tighter gaps and were not as dirty but I cleaned and gaped them as well. All four work great.
Thanks again for your clearly written and very helpful reply.
