    Ok, nothing on the frame 3-4 switch stack is out of place or looks like it controls the hi low switch stack. When frame 3-4 comes up in a game, that stack coil pulls in, releasing the stack. That must energize something else to go between frame 3 and frame 4. It would have to be whatever energizes that there is probably a second switch that should energize the hi low stack. Im close, just not there yet!

    Scott took a few dollars from me tonight too!

    That's not true, unless you are talking about the machine we loaded into my car.

    #103 4 years ago

    Dont worry, im practicing fir next time!

    #104 4 years ago

    Spent some time today trying to figure it out, no luck. I guess if its just the over under giving me problems that isnt too bad!

    #105 4 years ago

    If you get totally stuck, I think you are within clays service area. Having a working example and such a breadth of knowledge, I would think he should be able to straighten out the issue fairly quickly.

    Im sure he could, but i really want to try and do it myself. If all else fails ill probably call clay

    #107 4 years ago

    Absolutely, that’s why I prefaced it with “totally stuck “.

    Keep on driving...enjoying the process

    #108 4 years ago

    Its fun. Im learning a lot about the logic behind ems, which is good. And the game is pretty fun, as long as you have 2 people and theres money on the line! This machine would be great as a 4 or 6 player game, more money to win!

    #113 4 years ago

    #117 4 years ago

    #118 4 years ago

    Your original glass has it spelled correctly.

    #119 4 years ago

    Ya, i saw that too. Im wondering if it was just mine, or if its all the repro ones

    #120 4 years ago

    Oh, I get it. It looks like his is misspelled as well. See his post here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/after-4-years-of-searching-if-finally-got-one-genco-lucky-7/page/3#post-5087481

    Who's going to tell him?

    #122 4 years ago

    Im guessing you didnt notice yours was misspelled?

    #123 4 years ago

    Nope never did. Now I'll see it everytime.

    #124 4 years ago

    Sorry! I suppose i should email bg resto and bring it to his attention

    Clay's Lucky 7 does the same thing most of the time.

    #126 4 years ago

    At least theirs works, i still have to figure out how to get mine working

    #127 4 years ago

    Test fit the legs today before staining. Look great!

    Are you going to try to get the decal (paint) for the top of the lane? Or leave it alone?

    Looks SWEET!

    So... was the over/under issue ever resolved?
    Just curious.
    Terry.

    #138 3 years ago

    Yes, it worked about 75-80% of the time when i sold the game. Cleaned every switch multiple times, checked every wire. I dont know what fixed it, but it did seem to work

    #139 3 years ago

    Didn't replacing this capacitor fix (most of) your over/under issues? Or did it fix something else?

    Lucky7(1) (resized).pngLucky7(1) (resized).png

    #140 3 years ago

    The cap was only the flipper. The switch gap was the over under

    #141 3 years ago

    Wait.... you SOLD it!?!
    Man, why was I not in the room for the bidding war.
    I hope you got over $5000 for it.
    Terry.

    #142 3 years ago

    I hope I bought it!

    Could someone explain what the flipper buttons do please.

    #146 3 years ago

    Lol

    Quoted from Mr68:

    Could someone explain what the flipper buttons do please.

    On the back of the playfield there is a metal "flipper" that pushes forward to give the ball a bit of a bounce. Ill see if i can find a pic

    #147 3 years ago

    That part pushes forward

    well you did approach him for a favour on the day of his daughter's wedding!

    #149 3 years ago

    [quoted image][quoted image]

    So both the right flipper button and the left button function the same in pushing that bar forward. Thank you.

    #150 3 years ago

    Yes that is correct
