Hi, I am a newbe, On my Dimension game, a new game start up does not reset any drop targets. When all drop targets on one side are down, and the ball drains, the targets reset. How can I resolve this. Thanks

Thanks Crazy Levi, I removed the bank from the bottom and flipped it over. Man that is sure easier than a mirror, light and contact tool. Thanks. Now I have a problem with the 500 points roll over, keeps blowing my 10 amp playfield fuse. Any suggestions where to start. Thanks

I noticed under this bank, the four hard to get at contact blades rest on the housing. One of them has a little round insulator plug, the others have no insulation barrier. Is this causing a short on the 500 point roll overs and top holes?

Any ideas? Targets reset when ball drains but, don't reset on a new game? Could it be a contact on the motor at start up?

here are the pictures, thanks for your help!

When starting a new game, what is different in resetting targets as apposed to: during a game and targets are down ball drains and now reset? Please help me follow the electrical path. I can't read this darn schematic! Thanks for your time and help.

O.K. This is where I am with this now. I removed the reset bank to serviceable position cleaned and checked point gaps.When I start a game if one side of drop targets are all down, they reset at start of a new game. If only a few targets are down on one side, they don't reset? Can you tell by the schematics which contact(s) are not completing the path? Thanks so much.

I'm still stumped. Does not seem possible. To reset correctly when supposed to after knock-down, but not reset at start of new game. Can someone help me follow the start-up path were the targets are meant to reset? PLEASE

I still have targets not reseting at start of game, only when ball drains on Wow. wish I knew the path @ start-up to follow. Any help appreciated. Thanks

After a break from trying to fix this machine, I am back at it. So, still targets don't reset upon start up, and don't score points. Could these two be related? I also receive an occasional 50 pts. when the ball drains. Thanks.

Awesome ArgosySK, Thanks so much for the fast reply. I will look at your suggestions this aft. Thank you Thank you

So I got as far as the targets scoring and playing a game but, during the game the R relay( hold relay) would energize and stay on. Don't know why this happens. Also I am having no luck with targets resetting at start of a game. Thanks, i'm going back to the machine now.

To trouble shoot, could I alligator clip to by pass AB or LB? I'm still having no luck with start up/targets up. Any other ideas?

Thanks ArgosySK, Do you think i'm risking any damage in using alligator clips, one at a time on these relay tabs? And only at start up?

I have used the alligator clips but no clues. I'm starting to think the targets don't reset at start of game. But, It makes the game less challenging. Now during the game about half way threw a game, the plungers on all three chime bars stay energized (humming)? Any thoughts? Thanks

I just ordered the armatures today. Thanks everyone!

Yes,they were missing lifters, but I did have electricial tape there. I'm willing to try it anyway. Question, are AB & LB at start of game open or closed? I have them closed. I don't think it's possible to have them open. The schematic shows them both ways. Thanks.

I have replaced the new armatures/lifters and it didn't help reset the targets at start-up. I will check the R relay and DB relay again. Thanks.

Just can't figure out why, when a row of targets gets knocked down and ball drains,they reset. Either side. But starting a new game they don't reset. Must be one step at start up that it's missing.

I am not sure what I did but now ; no points are scored but, chimes that ring and lock, along with the corresponding relays lock on. 10, 100 and 1000 pts. Man this is frustrating.

On starting a new game, the 1000 pts. score reel is stuck and doesn't move.... so that I think that is causing the ball count unit to fire and does nothing. If I set the 1000 pts. score reel to zero, I can start a game. Targets stay in the original position, but reset when they all are down on that side, after ball drain. Any one have ideas? THANK YOU.

Thanks HowardR, I got a stupid question: not sure what a thousands unit is, or a unit runout is. Is this in the armature, the score motor or score reel? Thanks.

In the score motor, I have noticed, two different side by side contacts give a blue spark. In your experience, what does this indicate? Thanks, They are 1A, 1st and 2nd switch.
