Wanted to follow up one more time tonight to let everyone know where this was at when I left WB's place. I did some additional cleaning/adjustment on the Ball Return Relay and I think perhaps we may have solved the trough switch/ball count not advancing issue. It's hard to tell because there is a broken piece in the outhole kicker area we discovered. There is a plastic white piece that the ball rests on when it drains into the outhole, and that plastic piece presses the switch down to make contact. The plastic piece is broken and detached, so it won't press the outhole switch properly.
By manually pressing the switch when the ball drains, the kicker now fires. Unfortunately, the broken piece blocks it from firing with enough force to send the ball up the trough into the shooting lane, but if we push the ball through manually (or simply put the ball in the shooting lane and manually trigger the trough switch, the Ball Count Unit advances and Ball in play goes up as it should. More testing is needed, but it looks like we're almost there.
Some items/issues of note:
- Only the 10pt chime seems to be working, but all scoring on targets functions from a score reel perspective.
- The 10's score reel or relay appears to be getting locked on at times. We tested this by repeatedly hitting the right kicker, which scores 10 pts (one of the few targets that scores 10). Eventually, the score reel and/or 10 pt relay in the back back lock on, buzzing loudly, and other scoring/target issues begin to occur due to the locked reel. I've suggested WB clean the reel(s) and check the switches, looks like a simple fix I hope
I think if we can fix that plastic piece on the outhole area, we'll be mostly in business and just tracking down the little things. More to come, thanks all. I'm off to bed.
