Middle O' Oregon
4 months later
Quoted from MidWestPin:Where would I go to find schematics for a Genco Captain Kidd? The Pinball Resource does not have them.
Invent a time machine?
Genco did not ship schematics with early games. Any factory stock of prewar schematics was turned in during wartime "paper drives". Long story short: There ain't any.
Clean the switches. Clean the steppers. Replace the selenium rectifier with a modern bridge. Game should mostly work after that.

Quoted from Toyguy:...
3. The 4 purple bumpers across the middle don't score, they only cycle playfield features. This may not be a problem - I'm just not sure as I can't find anything that says if they should or should not score. I just have a feeling they should but can't find anything wrong with them. The bumpers just have one copper spike on the skirt and a carbon ring on the playfield, and those are obviously working since the feature stepper cycles.
If anyone has any clues on any of that, I'd love to hear them. Also, if anyone has a 1940 vintage game and could snap a photo of the coin door and takeoff switch plate, that would be helpful.

My guess is that the bumpers should score. Next guess would be that it scores through a switch on that feature stepper relay thing.
Here's a couple snaps of a 1941 vintage coin door. Note that someone has bent the thing on the coin slide to compensate for the broken switch and missing fiber peg.
