I recently picked up a gridiron and previous owner had some amateur wiring rigged up on ball shooter. If anyone has a working example that can take a pic of shooter from top of play field with apron off and then one from the bottom of play field showing the wiring I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm wrong it's not lighting.

The only thing that is confusing to me is the wiring coming from the switch that detects the ball. Both wires are tying into playfield lighting wires. They are the orange/white/black wires.

This is what was done to it when I got it. The previous owner had a black wire tied into the two 30v wires and a white tied to the ball shooter coil. These two were tied to a toggle button that the previous owner installed in the coin doors key hole. I removed and did a temp connection of correct wires to the shooter coil and turned machine on and coil just kept coming on and off.

Found a solder that came loose on wiring on the Hole Relay when I took it out to inspect. Think that's it. Wiring color scheme as the switch on ball shooter switch.

I just picked machine up last weekend for a $100 and got a lot of contacts to clean. Scoring motor keeps spinning and game is not resetting and there are a lot of dirty contacts and a few that need adjusting. This was just stumping me. Thanks for the help.
