    Working through some issues on this project and making progress but one thing I’m not figuring out is no scoring or chiming on any of the 10 point contacts. The 10 point relay scores and chimes fine when manually activated and also works fine when an 1110 rollover is hit.

    I figured it had to be the normally closed switch on Score Motor 1C with the green/orange wire but I’ve cleaned the contacts as well as the rest of the switches on 1C and it’s making good contact. There are a couple of jumper wires on that switch but they too seem to be intact. One thing that did happen earlier was that I got a weak 10 point chime on a playfield contact but only once and not anything since.

    Not sure what else it could be. Thanks for any suggestions. Danny

    Quoted from Sea_Wolf:

    In the 10 Point Score Reel there's a set of closed contacts
    that open when the plunger is pull in which breaks the circuit
    to the 10 Point Relay. If those set of contacts aren't making
    good connection when the Score Reel is at rest, the playfield
    switches won't energize the 10 Point Relay..

    Thanks Mopar . I’ll check that now and report back. Lucky Hand seems to have a lot of fans.

    If the playfield 10 point contacts don't activate the 10 Point (N) relay,
    Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires

    Thanks Howard. I’ll do that and check Mopar ’s advice in the morning and let you all know what I find out.

    After seeing the snippet, I'd say Howard's right with the Score Motor's 1C switch..

    Was getting ready to get the jumper wires out and test like Howard suggested and remembered that DaMoib in a different conversation told me to check the wires and solder joints on all the 10 point contacts and sure enough, found a broken white/red wire on a 10 point switch below the pop bumpers. That was it. Thanks Mopar and HowardR .
