Hey Everyone,

Anytime I land the ball in one of the kickout holes the bases all reset - otherwise everything the bases function properly (runs score via single/double/triple/homeruns without issue) The bases also reset when the ball drains which from watching videos this doesn't seem to be the intended behavior.

I am currently waiting on the schematic in the mail and can't seem to find one online - any advice would be very welcome. This is my first Gottleib machine so I'm pretty unfamiliar with how things are done in these machines

Thank you!
Kate

Everything seems to be tight from where I've checked, and the runners work just fine. I'm able to identify a specific contact on the P relay which is causing the reset, but without the schematic/manual I haven't been able to trace it yet

I picked this one up recently as a '100% working freshly shopped' machine and have been fixing tons of little issues constantly when will I learn lol

The targets put men on bases and they cycle perfectly

The kickout holes remove everyone from the bases, as does a ball draining

I've inspected the hit unit and cleaned and it seems like everything is adjusted correctly.

My thoughts are there has to be a common switch the spinner/kickout (P relay) and out hole have that is triggering a base reset

Thank you so much for the snippet, I'll verify what I can from it

Also I found and read that whole link previously, it's extremely informative and very helpful, just doesn't explain the kickout landing a man on base mechanic unfortunately

Yes, the hit unit stepper advances when the ball lands in the kickout. If I manually click just the top contact the light will come on as it should, it is when the kicker fires and the roto target spins that the hit unit also triggers

It was that contact on the S relay, thank you so much, without the schematic I never would have even thought to look at the start relay
