    Hi.
    I have a #Fast Draw that has been working great until recently. Now it has a weird issue and I wonder if anyone can help.

    When the game starts up, everything resets but no ball is launched into the chute. However, if I add a credit, the ball appears. Same happens next ball. I have to insert another coin, then the ball launches fine. And so on to the end of the game. I have just seen also that if I add a player before the first ball, it is launched, as if I had added credits.

    I have just put the game into free play, but nothing has changed with this issue.

    Any ideas where I should start looking? I guess this could be an AX issue, but I’m pretty much a noob…

    Thanks in advance.

    Does the ball launch if you rotate the score motor 1/3 of a turn instead of inserting a coin?

    if the ball is sitting in the outhole after game reset, the O relay should be powered and the score motor should run.

    if the O relay is powered but the score motor isn't running, check the switch on the O relay with RED-WH and YEL+RED wires on the blades. It should be closed when the relay is powered and directly powers the score motor.

    Thanks so much baldtwit and HowardR for your input. I pulled out the O relay and, lo and behold, one of the wires had come unsoldered. Put it back in place, and all is well.

    This forum is awesome!

    Have a great day!
