This original post was my cry for help in getting my first ever pinball machine working. And hour later it is!
I finally found the problem! It was the starter relay coil I believe. I got to looking further into the rear of the unit and found the reset relay and right behind it was an unlabeled one. Pressed it manually and reset kicked in, balls drop and playfield was active!! Plus wrapper on coil is missing parts of it and wires are black. Going to test with meter tomorrow.
I am sooo excited tonight!!
Now the process of restoration and repair begins. Replay unit and match unit was cleaned this week. So much more to work on though!
Right flipper was working then not. Needs all new rubbers. Playfield needs help. Flippers also didn't have enough power. Ball release was sticking some and here is a weird one... when I press flipper buttons it gives me points everytime?
Any idea on that? Lol.
Now that I know it works, let the addiction begin!!
