What does this relay do? A guy in town asked me to look at his and in about an hour I've got it working good. Couple questions/bugs:

Match isn't rotating. Always on 70. Is that tied to this relay?

In 3 ball does 1 of the 3 lanes at the top start already triggered? Seems to on this game. So on reset you already have 1 of the 3 colours at 5000 points.

And are the sling shots really worth 1000 points each?

Occasionally 5000 points get scored the second the ball goes in the shooter lane for ball one. Tied to question 2?

Quoted from goldenboy232:

The AS does control Match, so if Match isn't moving, the AS isn't spinning most likely.

Any tips or would a simple good cleaning likely fit the bill?

And that's the one in the left of the head next to the credit stepper unit correct?

Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

If the arms that hold the ratchet shaft are misaligned or binding the shaft in any way, the relay will stick. You can twist the shaft carefully with a flat blade screwdriver in the proper direction. Try removing the load that the cam wheel has by lifting the contacts away, as suggested earlier. The relay has to be adjusted precisely, but it will hold the adjustment for years. Another source of drag wiper arm(s). Ensure that the pcb is smooth. I put a tiny amount of light grease on it.

I'm confident I can figure it out. Just wanna ensure I'm looking at the right unit. Is it that one in the upper left side to the right of the credit stepper? Was one of the only things i couldn't quickly put a finger on its purpose in the first few minutes of looking at it. Haven't seen the game since though.

Quoted from currieddog:

This may not be the same unit, but I'm sure there are relevant tips.

Yeah that looks like it. I figured as it was the only thing I couldn't identify. I'll get er tuned up.

Appreciate the help everyone. I'm sure I can work my way thru it but I've ordered some parts for him yesterday. Probably won't head back till the new parts come in.
