Novice here, so let me apologize in advance, Gottlieb Super Soccer Player, the progressive bonus lights & scoring (additional lights and increased value as game progresses) appears driven by the AX, BX, and CX relays/coils and associated switches in the Control Bank, which seem to be energized by Motor 1c. The five switches in motor 1c appear open and closed when appropriate, yet the relays are operating intermittently, once activated they remain activated, but they don’t always activate. When they don’t activate they sometimes buzz, if buzzing or not, and they don’t activate when they should if you give them a light touch they will immediately pull in and activate. You can feel a vibration as well not witnessed on the coils either activated or not suppose to be activated at that time. Is this an indication the coils are worn and need replaced or that the power sent to the coil is insufficient, again this is intermittent game by game, sometimes impacting all 3 of these relays, other times only one or two, or none. Often when I have this issue the game which is set as 3-ball will extend to add ball 4-5, although ball 5 will not add add points to score wheel. When the bonus profession works the games all end correctly after ball 3.

Thanks for your consideration,

Matt

Guys,

Am I correct that score motor 1C is referring to the stack of switches at the 4 O’clock position below? That these activate the 3 relays in question?

My belief as well activated by the top disc. I don’t understand the wire colors in practice, meaning the wire colors going to the coils are all brown, the colored wires are all going to switches activated by the coils on the Coil Bank, my issue is the coil does. not activate, what am I missing, as the wire colors on the C1 stack seem to have no relationship to the wires attached to the leads on the coils.

Ok, eye opener, so we have BX coils and BX switches, I was assuming BX was referencing the coil not an individual switch of the same name. I now see the BX coil on the schematic, picture attached.

Alberto, thanks for the eye opening lesson, I believe I’ve now found the AX, BX, and CX switches on the AX, BX, and CX coils; the ones that are normally closed, prior to the coil pulling, I get this now. Still have issues with one of the three but I think the Coil Bank switches are they key. Thanks again for the lesson, I just never considered a normally closed switch on a switch stack would be used to energize its own coil.

Fantastic help Pinsiders, really pleased all is up and running now as it should be, I’m so pleased, could not have done it without you, appreciate the education. Picture below, Ball 3 and all is well!

The progressive bonus logic, 1x, 2x, 3x for balls 1-3 respectively for the up to ten soccer balls earned as bonus, combined with the ability to drain the bonus during a game and refill on the same ball just keeps me playing over and over, nice features. I bought this game in 1979 when I was 12 years old with paper route money at auction, played a few years and it sat at my folks hours not being played since late 80’s, just brought to my home last week, and now working as good as it did when Carter was President and I was in 6th grade.
