I have a Gottlieb Hit The Deck. Here's my situation. The machine starts and will reset the score reels. The playfield lights up. The bank on the bottom of the playfield seems to reset but i dont have any flippers and the ball doesnt load. The ball count unit in the back of the head doesnt advance. If I manually advance the ball count unit, i still I dont have any flippers or starting of the game. Ive checked the tilt relay, hold relay and start relay and they all seem to be working properly. Any ideas where else I should check? Thank You

1st check the tilt relay

The 6th position switch on the back side of the Ball Count unit needs to be closed after the Ball Count unit resets, and then the Zero position switch there needs to be closed after the Ball Count unit steps to Ball 1. So those switches might need cleaning/gapping.

Close, it wasnt the Tilt relay, but a Tilt switch in the head. All fixed Thank You

Here is the last problem Im having. It's with the 100,000 switch. You know the latch switch that lights up when you reach 100,000. Well, its not working. Here is what I I've tried, I've cleaned and sanded the relay points, cleaned/sanded the score reels and adjusted....the are score and resetting properly. I've also tried more/less tention on the little springs on the back of the relay and I still cant get it to work properly. If I manually set it, then it will light up and when I reset the machine it goes away. Any thoughts?
Thanks

What's on the schematic for feeding the 100,000 relay? (haven't got mine handy at the moment.)

Usually it's going to be the 9th position switch on the 10,000s reel, the 10,000s isolation switch (also on the reel), and a switch on L. All three need to close to energize the 100,000 relay (which will then latch on its own). The two switches on the score reel are both closed via the plunger EOS.

the 10,000s isolation switch (also on the reel)
