El Dorado
Gottlieb, 1975Hello all, So all my drop targets and rollovers score just fine but don't activate the chimes. I did check and cleaned the relays in the backhead along with the score reels. I wasn't sure if this was a relay issue? if so which one should I pay a little more attinion to? My score motor will also just keep running on occasion when something is hit and I have to restart the game to stop it. That has happend when hitting a drop target or the advance target.
Thanks,
Jeff
Quoted from SteamVette:score motor will also just keep running on occasion
Which one of these switches/relays is causing the score motor to keep running?
Pinball (resized).pngHave the chimes ever worked since you've owned it?
I would check to make sure that the plungers on the chime units themselves are moving freely. They sometimes get gummed up from the bottom bumper material and get stuck inside the coils.
Quoted from SirScott:Have the chimes ever worked since you've owned it?
Yes, They still work good on the slingshots etc. Just started acting up on the rollovers and drop targets.

So, if it is just the 10s chimes that work (slings), I would still check the chime units themselves on the 100s and 1000s coils, and check switches on the 100pt and 1000pt relays that @HowardR mentioned above.
Thanks all... I was able to take care of my chime issue. Couple switches needed cleaned and adjusted and the chime plunger was cleaned. Im not sure why when I finish a game every once in a while my score motor will stop in a spot where a new game can’t be started and I have to reach my hand in and turn it just a little so it can start a game!
Quoted from dasvis:Is your score motor brake missing?
That I don’t know. Not sure what that looks like and where is located on the score motor.
Thanks,
Jeff
Quoted from dasvis:Looks like a score motor switch but has no contacts or wire connected to it
I will take a look next chance I get.
