hello
working on this great game with no schematic!

you can add a credit, start a game, score reels reset - All seems good

but nothing scores on the playfield 10's etc other then the two side kickouts which score 500 points and score reel increments appropriately.

i can activate the relays in the backbox and the score reels react and increment

Anyone have some guidance please

Cheers Bob

I'm a little unclear - is nothing scoring on the pf other than the 2 side kickout? Or are just the 10's not scoring?

Have you cleaned and carefully examined the Jones plugs?

okay i got lucky here, scoring now working!
it was a score-motor switch that should be NC, cleaned and adjusted now scoring as it should.
Nearest switch from the coin door did it

although now a can't play just a one player game or play a two player game
press credit button once
i'll play 3 balls on player one
and only two on player two
game ends

any ideas?
i do have schematics on the way but just want to get this one step closer to working!

If the machine has a 2nd player latch/trip relay check for proper operation of latch and trip, clean and check switches while you’re waiting on the schematic.

thank you for your reply and that was what it was, 2nd player relay need contacts adjusted and cleaned
games playing as it should
