Hi, wondering if maybe someone could point me in the right direction. Troubleshooting a very clean, and working perfectly (other than this one issue) Gottlieb Pioneer. I've cleaned contacts on score motor and ball count unit in back box. If I manually trigger the ball count, it steps through ball number and switches between player 1 and player 2 on the front display. Power on the game, add a credit or two (this happens whether one player or two), launch ball and play/score. Ball drains, kicks back out fine, still shows as ball 1 on display. (never ending game)

I'm just not 100% sure where to target/pinpoint which particular relay or set of switches that may be causing this.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Does the Add Player Unit relay (P) activate when the ball rolls across the Trough switch between the outhole and the plunger?

Didn't watch for that, but will check this next. I found one post with similar or almost same symptom, and there was some mention of AX relay/switch as well?

Thanks again for your help, went back to look at this machine further, cleaned the contacts on this one switch and now the game plays flawlessly!
