Hi all,

Troubleshooting a game that I sold to a friend. Prior to moving to his house all worked fine. Ever since there have been issues. At the moment, I am experiencing the following:

1.) Game has credits
2.) Press the start button
3.) Start relay engages but score motor does not turn
4.) I turn the score motor by hand three times and the start sequence finishes (score reels zero, banks reset, ball count reset and credit decrements. Ball kicks into play.
5.) 1 and 10 point switches score fine, game plays but then when I hit any 50 point shot the "U" relay (50 points) locks on and then no other switches score.
6.) I purposely drain ball, game does not recognize ball has drained.
7.) I turn score motor by hand, the game awards 50 points and then recognizes the ball has drained, kicks out a new ball and I can repeat the process.

The way my logic is running in my head right now is that the game is not getting the signal to turn the score motor. (I'm assuming tht to score 50 points the score motor must "tell" the 10 point relay to fire 5 times?

I know some score motors have a single jones plug jumper than can be moved to service the score motor but I don't recall seeing one here. (although a lot of labels underneath are missing so maybe its right in front of me)

Is my logic sound? And if so any suggestions for where to look? I don't have easy access to the game so any Funland owners that could snap a pic of the score motor/area I should be looking at I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Ed

Yea normally if you start a score motor turning it will finish the 1/3 turn by itself. If its not doing this then the feed to motor is in a maint hole Or motor is bad. Take a 24v feed off of fuse and touch to the non black motor lead...
