OP

Quoted from cperro:

One thing I forgot to note, one of the score reels is currently taken apart, it came like that when I got it. I don't think there is anything wrong with it but I just have to get around (figure out) how to put it back together, would that prevent the beginning of the start up sequence?

OP

Quoted from cperro:

if I manually moved one off of zero and then turned on the machine would that be a good test to see if reels reset to zero again?

OP

Quoted from cperro:

I am a little confused of the pathway the score reel coils are energized
i.e. : The add 1st "Tens" unit. Could someone tell/show me the pathway for that, just doesn't seem to make sense to me

OP

Quoted from cperro:

2) The ball play lights always light up for ball 4 and 5, but 1 and 2 rarely light up and 3 sometimes does. Sometimes when 1,2, and 3 light up it's part way
through the play for that ball, I tried replacing the #2 bulb since it has never lit up but still nothing? What would the most likely issue for this be, the sockets
perhaps?
3) Sometimes the ball in play skips #2 and goes to ball #3 so then I only have 4 balls instead of 5. Any ideas for this one?

OP

Quoted from cperro:

howardr If you could post the schematic fragment that would be great. I think they seem okay, shifted a little to the right but not much, here's a picture of it, let me know what you think:

OP

Quoted from cperro:

Okay, I'll check this out tomorrow. I have one quick question though. Inside the dashed lines for the player unit what does the 0-1, 4-5, 8-9, etc connections represent? Is it just to do with the couple of connections that get closed as seen in my previous image (post #60)? Thanks.

OP

Quoted from cperro:

Ah okay, that explains why I was getting such a small number of points when I played, I thought it was just suppose to be 100 points for each rollover/target. I do get a sort of repeating pattern for the amount of points received for successive rollovers/targets. First is usually 0 points, the second is 100 or 200 typically, and then the third time its usually about 500 points. I'm a bit confused as to why this happens though. Isn't it the same switch closing each time? If so I thought it would get around the same number of points for each target/rollover. Obviously I'm wrong since the amount of points varies in a pattern of 3. If you could explain this that would be great.

OP

Quoted from cperro:

The new issues are that the 1st ball is always skipped, well what happens is when I turn on the machine and add coin everything resets and before I put the ball in the outhole it says ball in play is 1, then once the ball is put in the outhole and is ejected, then I plunge it to play and after a couple things that rack up points the ball in play 2 lights up).

OP

Quoted from cperro:

I was having this issue rarely originally but now it happens all the time.

OP

Quoted from cperro:

once you sink a ball it stays in the outhole for a really long time (>1 minute) before it is ejected for play. Similarly, this happens with the mystery bonus hole as well

OP

Quoted from cperro:

So the player unit goes to the #1 ball in play position after the score reels are reset, the ball in play #1 light is also on. The player cam stays there after the ball is put in the outhole while the ball in play #1 light goes out when the ball is ejected from the outhole. Then once the first bunch of points are accumulated the player cam moves to the #2 ball in play position, this is the same time the ball in play #2 light turns on.
