Both of my Gottlieb act the same, i.e. after a game the start switch doesn't reset the game. You have to turn the power switch off and on and then start it with the button. Is the normal?
Thanks,
Eddie

On King Pin, if the Replay button activates the Start relay (S) when you plug in the machine but not after playing a game, check the Zero position switch on the Ball Count unit.
For a switch to work 3 things are necessary:
1) When open, there should be a small space between the contact points (duh)
2) When closing, the long blade's contact point should push the short blade's contact point enough to move the short blade
3) The contact points should be clean, which they usually will be if #2 is happening
On Groovy, if the Replay button doesn't activate the Replay Button relay (V),
starting with the switch on the 1st Ball in Play relay (ZB) on the Control Bank,
