I’ve been over my 1954 Spitfire with a fine toothed comb and can help.
Tilt relay is on the large relay bank on mine.
Quoted from currieddog:So it's really the Start button?
Knock off button removes credits....you could rack up a lot of credits on these machines and get them paid out. Hence the knock off button. There is a separate start button on the cabinet front.
Here are some drawings I did while working on Spitfire, they may be helpful.
The first is a bit of a startup sequence diagram. Many of the relays are latching so you need to keep in mind when reading the schematic that a relay may be tripped even if it is currently not energized.
Next is a breakout of the connector to the toggle switch, flipper buttons, coin door, etc. This was extremely helpful, I recommend making one for your machine.
Some pictures of Spitfire, may be useful.
Tilt and Game relays on the bank -- the bottom relay is tilt, the one beside it is the game relay
Seven pin connector as diagrammed above
Coin door. I made a connector so the replay button can be used to trigger a coin drop.
Tilt -- this had been moved to the backbox on my game, I put it back.
Plumb bob area
Meter was missing on my machine, I bought a 50V one on ebay.
Knock-off area
Did you mean to attach a picture? Not sure where the yellow arrow is.
The wiring for the coin door and replay button is comprised of three wires:
'30' (yellow) - attached to a coin switch post and runs back to the plug
'13' (red-yellow) - attached to one blade of the replay button; it then jumps from the blade to the other post of the coin switch; originates at the plug
'56' (white-brown) - attached to the other blade of the replay button; goes to a switch on the take-off switch stack
You energize the path two ways:
13 -> coin switch -> 30 (drop a nickel)
13 -> replay button -> 56 -> 40 -> 51 -> non-zero replay step-up (credits on wheel) -> 30
To make it free play you wire the replay button like it is the coin switch: 13 -> replay button -> 30
If you don't have a play count meter you'll have a '68' wire (brown-black) to the adjustment plug not hooked to anything.
