Hi all, I am having an issue with starting a game on Mad World.
I will start by saying i have gone through switches and all seem gapped fine and functioning as should on all relays and score motor, etc etc. I have checked for broken wires as well.
What i have come up with is the hold relay will not engage. If i start a game, it will just do the typical run on of score motor when game started. If i manually engage the hold relay in it will reset scores and start a game as it should. I have ohm'd the coil and is good, if i jumper power to the coil it pulls in as it should.
I am struggling reading the schematics for this game and looking for someone with more insight and knowledge of schematics to help me out find where/what will pull this hold relay in so i can better troubleshoot this game.
Thanks for reading.

Hi Mark

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I had 2 resistors connected in parallel and neither test at 15 ohms so i was able to create a 13.5 ohm 5 watt resistor( hope it will be sufficient).
Bad thing was when i unsoldered the old resistors i ended up taking lug of coil, so i figured I'll take the only other coil that si the same from pop relay and use it for now...well didn't i do the same thing on that coil trying to unsolder wires.
I have 2 coils on order and should be here any day now and will try again and let you know what happens after i get them installed.

Ok 2 coils are changed and new resistor in place and hold coil now holds in! Now I'm getting some random issues so i will be working on that today....mainly ball trough count issues that exist and then it works fine.
On my discoveries i noticed on switch on start relay i have 2 different colour wires going to top blade of switch of switch and the top blade on switch beside has no wire on it but does have a wire connected to the bottom side of blade (maybe past owner mixed up) i will attach a picture if someone out there can maybe confirm for me if this correct or not?
Its the connecter with the tan and red wire both attach to blade. Blade beside it looks there is a wire attached to top blade in picture but there is nothing there.
