Whirl-Wind
Gottlieb, 1957Just posting this issue so maybe someone can save me some time and point me in the right direction.
I can manually move the Player 1 scoring reels to 000 but it still resets to 001. The score motor will run endlessly, game won’t start.
Alternatively, it will occasionally get to 000, however the machine still won’t start a game as the game start buzzing/humming extremely loudly.
What should I fix/diagnose first?
Thanks,
Eric
Check the '0' sw. on the 1's reel. http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index2.htm#reels
Quoted from poppapin:BTW...Interesting looking woodrail I've never seen or played. Please post some pics...
It is very cool. https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2760
The plot thickens - yet I refuse to give up as this game is so incredibly cool.
We are now at 000.
The Roto target has started to move and score on it’s own - but it will only ever score one point at a time.
Something here is quite wrong - I’m just not exactly sure what it is.

Wicked helpful guide - thanks again for your help currieddog
Quoted from currieddog:I don't have the schematic. If you do, can you post a snippet of the relevant Roto-target area?
I sadly do not have the schematic either.

You’re right - I hate to spend the money on it - but this game is a keeper. I’ll order it today, and I’ll get this game going with the help of pinside.
Not sure if you’re headed to Pintastic currieddog - but this is the game I want to bring for free play!
