This happened about a year ago, while you are playing a game, every so often, the score motor will run- as if the ball drained, and the ball is still in play. When your playing on ball 5, and you hear the score motor turn- sometimes it ends the game, the flippers get power cut...and the ball drains.

Today- I cleaned all the score motor switches and when I played 2 games- this problem went away, game 3...It came back, but it seems like it’s not nearly as bad, in total- I played 10 games and now t ended early on 2.

Have you had the same problem? And if So, what should I be looking for?

Now that I have my El Dorado at my vintage clothing booth, It is getting played more (mainly by me)
I would imagine, more little things are going to pop up now and then.

No sir- do you know what letter it is?

Excellent B_K I’ll give that a try.

I’ll check that out too- Thanks

The outhole switch was basically touching, when the ball wasn’t in the hole (problem solved)

Something else happened, sunk all the targets and they didn’t reset, that’s the first time that’s happened, since owning the pin for the last 8-10 years.

Recently I read another thread, with the same problem, I’m in no hurry- doesn’t the target reset go through a different path for the reset...

Thanks for the help and an easy fix- gapping the outhole relay.

I haven’t had time to address the drop target problem yet, but I want to make sure I understand this. The drop targets reset just fine with the start up of a new game, Is the schematic from above^^^
Is this the path responsible for resetting the drop targets- once you knock them all down while playing a game? Seeing that I cleaned all the switches on the score motor, somehow this must be related to the problem that was never there before?

Thanks
