Southern Belle
Gottlieb, 1955Hello, I have been restoring a Southern Belle and it is almost done. Its all running, working, and scoring correctly except it wont go to game over. At the completion of the 5 balls it will not give me another ball but with the glass off scoring continues and flippers are still active. I don't know but I don't think that is correct. Any help on this would be awesome but unfortunately I have no schematics but this must be a common thing with the older wood rails. Thank you.

Thank you but this is a Tech forum and everyone should see the post. Why do you want me to send you the schematics?

Have you checked the switches in the 'played balls' trough?

This is normal as I don’t think there’s a game over relay on Southern Belle (as is true for many machines from that era). This can be confirmed by looking at the schematic.

I do know there is not a game over or light bulb for it in back box.

From IPDB. But I do not think scoring should continue.

Excellent. I'm thinking the game is done. If the playfield glass was on no one would no after 5 balls scoring could still happen. Only a tech. On to the next machine.
