Card Whiz
Gottlieb, 1976 I have a Gottlieb Card Whiz that if not for the "ball gate" issue, the pin operates 100%.
Trough,runway and EX switches are cleaned and gaped properly.
Resistance at the coil reads 15.
When the ball rolls over the lane guide on the right hand side, the gate opens as it should
but then immediately closes so the coil is not staying energized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Quoted from MarkG:Sounds like a problem with one of the three switches in the lock in circuit.

What about the switch on the P/Add Player Unit relay?

Heading to P/add player relay now.

Normal closed switch at "P" was open, adjusted and it works perfect now.
Thanks for the advice.

Well, well. 
Quoted from currieddog:Well, well.
It was open just barely but open is open. Thanks again for your time yesterday afternoon.
