Hi, I am at a loss why my machine is not resetting. I purchased it last year not going. I have cleaned contacts and resoldered some connections. The game lights up and makes the usual noises but the shutter goes from closed to open and no ball appears. If I open relay by hand, ball comes up but the playfield won't stay in the closed position. If I put credits on scorer and push the red button the machine advances odds but playfield won't close or put ball out. Can someone please help .(btw is an early 1957 model) Also when I trip coin switch no credits show on counter, and I can only trip coin switch just the once.

Hi baldtwit, I have 8 balls in machine. The relay is underside next to shutter motor. The relay is allways energised is this right? I will try step up the timer unit and see what happens.

Has to have 8, 5 for play and 3 extra balls

Is there anyone in Australia, preferably Victoria that fixes these?

Ok, that makes it hard

Thank you, Thank you , Thank you. It was the runway switch. I have been working on this for 2 days , pulled apart timer and cleaned and reset, followed trough switches and cleaned, checked for voltages at cams and relay's. Now I've got some tweaks like scorer not working properly and magic lines adjustment, but at least it's working and I can check other parts. When I come to USA again I'll send you a message and shout you lunch.
