Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to get the man on base to work properly.
I found on the Hit Unit Step-up that a "L"-bracket (A-256) was broken and the coil stop not adjusted properly. When energized it would advance more then 1 "tooth" on the gear. So I replaced the "L"-bracket and re-adjusted the coil stop, now it advances one tooth per stroke.
I have verified (activating rollover switches) that when a "Single or Double or Triple or Home-Run" it hit, the appropriate relay(s) do pull in (energize).
What is happening is, when i hit a "Single" the "A" interlock energizes the Man on 1st lights and holds.
When I hit another "Single" the "A" interlock releases (I see the Man on 1st light go out for a split second) and back on and holds but no runner on 2nd. Like the "B" interlock never gets energized.
I have read and watched several times the write-up and videos that MarkG created which is unbelievable (Thanks Mark for creating them). Im still confused and not following totally.
On these interlocks ("A","B","C") just to understand how they function, when it's energized and start pulling in, if a switch is NO as soon as it closes any other switch that is NO should now be closed and any switch that is NC should be open. And this must all happen at the same time... correct?
I've had the bottom board out several times to check and adjust these switches. Is there a trick to get these interlocks working how they should.
Thanks
Steve
