Thanks to Pinsiders helping me to fix some of my other games I am now on to my Chicago Coin Firecracker, which I bought in a very dilapidated state. I have since gotten it back together, cleaned it up some and gotten it "running" but it still needs TLC.

The game turns on and starts a game but has two main issues.

1. The game does not count up from ball 1 after the 1st ball drains.

2. Occasionally the reset bank resets during gameplay. It seems when you hit the rollover switches at the top is when it most often likes to reset.

I do not have a schematic for the game.

I'll take all the advice I can get! Thanks.

Nice find! Very jealous. Can you post some picks. It’s not often you see one of these white owls.

Bought a "lot" of pinballs from a guy in Omaha, NE and firecracker was one of them. Glass is in poor shape but the playfield and cabinet are in good shape. Game is absolutely coated in dust inside the cab and in the back. Much cleaning to do!!

Playfield was stripped but parts were included. I just rebuilt it with new bulbs and rubber last night.
