I'm not getting a high score extra ball on player 2, on any of the 3 scores I have set. Player unit disc is nice and clean. Thanks

Update! Player 1 is the only one consistently getting all 3 high score extra balls; player 2 consistently not. I cleaned the boards on the 1K and 10K score reels for player 2 and switch 2E on the player unit and no change.

Update: 10K and 1K boards all cleaned and all players except #2 getting all bonus balls.

Update: got first bonus for #2, but only by clicking playfield RO switches. It does not get it from the target bonuses. Later on back to not getting bonus though.

Trace the circuit completely. Since you say the Player Unit is good, the Decagon units (circuit board)are the next highest moving part that gets dirty. Also look for broken wires at the circuit board connection point.

Usually Player 1 is the first to be trashed.

As for the Player Unit, you are not just looking at the bakelite rivet board& wipers, correct? The rotary cams that activate the switch stacks are where the action is.

I've cleaned all the 10K and 1K Decagon units and checked wires. The cams on the PU seem to be good. I did get a the bonus lite to come on (for the first bonus only) by doing a jump on the PU, but it didn't give the extra play, that is, it moved on to the next player when the ball drained. It hasn't given any extra balls to #2 otherwise.

Victory! I mean, it's fixed. Re-did the solder on the C wire on #2 1K board. I'd noticed it was messy before, but it seemed solid. Obviously not.
