Quoted from JudeRussell:

I'm also looking at the Domino Advance setting (conservative vs liberal) and as far as I can tell, I'm not seeing much impact there.

Your schematic shows when the Advance Unit will fire. On the left side is a normally open switch on the X relay so nothing happens unless the X relay has fired. On the right side are three Score Motor switches which each let a pulse into the circuit whenever the Score Motor turns through one cycle. So assuming the X relay has fired there are three ways to step the Advance Unit:

1) the pulse from the Score Motor 4C switch will always step the Advance Unit
2) the pulse from the Score Motor 3B switch will step the Advance Unit if the V relay has fired in 3 ball mode
3) the pulse from the Score Motor 1B switch will step the Advance Unit if the V relay has fired and either
..3a) the Advance adjustment is in the Liberal setting or
..3b) the Y relay has not fired and in 3 ball mode

One thing the schematic does not show is the Motor Sequence Chart which would show when the three Score Motor switches fire relative to each other.

Quoted from Larrymc:

Quick question for anyone with a working Domino: is it supposed to start with the first Domino lit, or light the first one upon first advance. I’m guessing it starts with the first on, but I want to make sure because it’s several positions off right now and I want to set it right.

It looks like when the Advance Unit is reset and at position 0, the 5 domino should be on, unless the game is tilted.
