I'll check tonight to be sure.

I believe it's 10 per spin with 500 and the bonus ball being scored each time the lights get to the top.

So i was incorrect.

Its 100 per spin. then 500 and a bonus ball when the dot reaches the top and starts over.

Yes scores 10/500 on my Top Score as well.

I have a 300, i wonder if its different. 10 per spin vs 100.

regardless im going to check that switch as you mentioned to see whats up.

wag... i have no idea whether or not this machine has this or not...

some machines have a "liberal/conservative" jones plug that changes pf scoring/rules dependent on setting...

again, no idea whether this machine has it or not, just throwing it out there...

A bit of a change of topic, I've got a Top Score that I have brought back from the dead, it had been abandoned in a basement for over decade and its history before that is unknown. I'll post some pictures when i get a chance its quite amazing the transformation.

I think i a missing a capacitor, diode, resistor combination that allow the bonus ball time to get kicked up in the backboard. Am I correct? all i have to go on is a line in the schematic and a small 4 hole J connector base mounted on the board near the hold relay. The connector has three wires attached, black, orange-green and white-slate.

I've been going nuts trying to figure this out. Any help would be awesome, and sorry for intercepting the topic, as for the topic i'm just happy to get any points right now....<sigh>

the jpeg was for someone who knows electronics but had never seen a j- connector before so it might seem a bit strange......

yes, there should be a small jones plug with a large-ish capacitor mounted onto it that plugs into that spot. There's probably a picture of it floating around somewhere.

this?

yep, that's the thing (but cleaner, ideally).

geez, you want everything...

wow that's awesome thanks
were these commen in the old pinballs?

has anyone ever made a new one?

not real common... that one came from an old motor board i dragged home, and "we" were able to identify the machine that the board came from because of the fact that it was there (along with a few other relays that allowed us to identify the exact machine)...

dunno... doubtful... that's a "scavenge and rebuild it if necessary part" (which is probably why yours is missing)....

since you need it to finish off a machine that you brought back from the dead, i'll break my "no international shipping" rule and send it to you... drop me a pm...

you have to clean it though...

edit: if you meant "has anyone made their own?", not "has anyone made them for resale?", i would imagine that a few of them have been home-brewed... since you know both the required circuit and the values of the components, you could just take an old jones plug, cut it down to size, and graft the circuit on...

hey thanks that's awesome
I tell you without the information I've been able to glean from the posts of those who gone before i wouldn't have had a chance on this rebuild.
