Ok.... I’m not much on em’s but I’m keeping this one, so I want to make it right.

Bally hokus pokus. Two issues. First is at ball end, the bonus counts, but the score is not applied.... kind of like the game was tilted.

Second issue.... completing ABCD. Is supposed to light double bonus and spinners for 100 points. Neither of this happens, but if I push the double bonus replay in at any time, I get double bonus and the spinners.

On a related note.... when I spell ABCD, are they supposed to stay lit, or do they reset to be collected again? Mine resets without applying double bonus or 100 pt spinners.

I have a schematic, andbwithout pulling the bottom board, I have filed the associated relay contacts and score motor switches, but I still have these problems. I should probably pull the bottom board to inspect better, but are there any obvious triggers for these issues?

Thanks
Mike

Quoted from Guidotorpedo:

If your bonus unit is doing its thing but the points don't add have a look at these switches that should fire the 1000 point relay:

When you score points while playing a ball the Ball Index relay should fire and the middle switch should close. When the ball drains the Bonus Score relay will fire if there is a bonus to award, which closes the lower switch and starts the score motor turning. With those two switches closed, pulses generated by the Score Motor 9 switch (at the top) should fire the 1000 point relay which should send pulses to your score reels.

There's an ABCD Series relay that should fire once you complete the sequence. Does that relay fire?

They should instantly reset and give you the award
