Hi pinbrick
how many Coin-Chutes do You have ? (The manufacturer sold the pins with 1 or 2 or 3 Chutes)
I looked up at http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=889 - the schematics looks somewhat strange --- and the manual at page-3 shows the different Jones-Plugs for adjustment. AND on page-4 the (strange to me) informations to "2., 2a., 3., 3a." --- example: At end of "2." they mention "When 2nd Coin Chute Adj. Plug is set for 1 Coin for 2 Plays: BROWN-WHITE must also be inserted in pos-2, hmm.
WRITE DOWN how YOUR Adj.-Plugs are set --- then try out all kind of combinations.
The easiest thing would be: Set the pin to "FREE PLAY" so You ALSO can start a game by pressing the Replay-Button --- also start with "Replay-Counter is at Zero". Write, if You want to do that.
Starting a new game by pressing the Replay-Button does NOT decrement the Replay-Counter / Credit-Wheel:
My JPG (from ipdb-schematics) shows "marked green": I believe ALL THIS WORKS -
"red lines and the RESET-Coil on Credit-Unit": Are in question.
We might have to use a Jumper-Wire to make DIRECT connection to transformer-lugs - for now: Check the wires on Reset-Coil (wires soldered-on ?) and check the Credit-Relay (does it PULL-IN ?) and (if it does pull-in at start of a new game): The Switches on Coin-Relay (contact points clean, wires soldered-on ? - a switch that wants to close when the relay starts pulling - does this switch TRUELY closes ?). Greetings Rolf
P.S.: The last page in the manual shows some "wiring on coin-Chutes".
