    Did Gottlieb use the same color codes for the wiring on all EM score reels?
    Say 1966 & up? or...

    Quoted from boilerman:

    and you thought re wiring that head was going to be easy!

    Well, the wires are there in the head already & mostly going to the general area where they are supposed to go.. just a matter of hooking them up to the correct places on the mechs (is all).
    Looks like I am going to better at reading schematics.
    Found a bunch of score reel sets & a credit unit. May have a lead on a match unit out of a pin that's the same year. Just need to check the parts manual to see what contact boards are used in both. Who knows, I might get lucky.

    Quoted from ccotenj:

    cool!! almost there!!! i'm really looking forward to seeing it brought back to life...

    Well, I still have my High hand to touchup & clear, then put back together & troubleshoot...
    My Top card to start on, an Alien poker for a friend, a CC Top ten, & the Royal guard.

    I thinks the Royal guard will be a primary side project, does not need much other than this head mess. The playfield is really nice, cabinet passable.

    Got the replay unit & took it apart and cleaned it up. Works perfect, looks perfect. Appears to be a really low mileage unit, zero wear on the coil stops. Score reels should be here soon.
    Sat down with the schematic & my Fluke - traced some wires & actually figured out where a couple are supposed to go. This is going to take a while...
