turn on the power switch and the "general illumination" lights should come on ... the playfield lights and some behind the backglass.

if you add some credits to the replay register manually, then turn on the game, the credits should get removed.

when the game is on and sitting there with 0000 credits, you need to either flick the coin switch or use a key to turn the lock on the side of the cabinet repeatedly to add credits.

the manual and schematic can be downloaded from http://bingo.cdyn.com/machines/bally/miss_universe/ in the red "resources" box.

if you can post (email to [email protected] is even better) the highest possible resolution pictures of the paper tags inside the head and the reflex unit wipers (with enough wiring in pic to see the wire colors), that would be great. Reflex unit is bottom of back door.

email as many pictures as you like.

the best pictures are ones you can zoom in on and read the labels.

got 'em. thanks! I'll email with q's about the stuff on the program unit shaft.

here's the first undocumented bit from randy. Anyone with a MU and want to double-check my typing go for it.

still to go is the reflex unit, random spot disc and flash disc. Anyone with a MU want to help let me know so randy doesn't have to put up with me for all of it

info from randy results in the random/random spot disc diagram.

next up is the reflex unit...which has wires attached that aren't on the schematic. Guess is a change to the 3 step relay proportioning circuit around schem G-46. The manual is also inconsistent, but that's nothing new.

with a bit of luck, a brown/black wire attached to the reflex contact plate ends unattached in the harness near the 3 step relay. If the wire is attached to a 3 step relay blade, then there may be another schematic for miss universe.
