Quoted from Macca:

does this pin need 5 balls in the trough to run?

Yes. See https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2812&picno=20000

Quoted from Macca:

The start button did work. If I remember, I filed a relay switch and now it doesn’t work.

If the Replay Button doesn't activate the Start (S) relay, inispect and diagnose this circuit with alligator clip jumper wires. Be careful because this circuit runs on full 120 volt line voltage.

Does the Replay Button activate the Start (S) relay?

Do these help?

Quoted from Macca:

it seems to be powered by the N relay, which I can't seem to find under the playfield.

The 1 Point (N) relay is probably in the back.

Pick one symptom and concentrate on that. I like to get a game starting correctly because that gets the rest of the game into the correct state.

Quoted from Macca:

I'd like to get power to the coils, bumpers, slings, rollovers on the playfield

Then get the relays & switches on the schematic at 12I to 13I in the correct state, they are D, X, T and S.

You may find this information helpful.

For a switch to work 3 things are necessary
1) When open, there should be a small space between the contact points (duh)
2) When closing, the long blade's contact point should push the short blade's contact point enough to move the short blade
3) The contact points should be clean, which they usually will be if #2 is happening

Each relay's switches should sometimes be open and sometimes closed. Which way depends on what position the relay itself is in.

I don't have one in front of me, but you should be able to gently pull up on 1 to reset a bank relay, gently press on 2 to trip a bank relay, or pull up on 3 to reset all the bank relays.

Quoted from Macca:

a very loud buzz

Where's the buzz coming from?

Can you find out exactly which coil is buzzing?

It's normal for the Alternating relay to lock on half the time during game play.
