Can you tell me what the rollover at the top of the playfield when lit scores?
Also the special outlane scores 1000 when not lit but doesn't score when lit.
Thanks for your help..

Quoted from EM-PINMAN:

Nothing wrong there, that is correct.
Ken

Okay cool
Cross that off the list

any help would be appreciated.

Quoted from EM-PINMAN:

3000 points.

Should score 1000 Not Lit and just the Special When Lit.
Sounds like everything is working as it should.
Ken

Woo hoo everything is fixed

The takeaway from this is patience.

I am learning.

Quoted from DirtFlipper:

That's what I get for reading schematics late at night.
However, the Special rollover lane scores either 1000 or a replay (I at least got that part right).
If it's still scoring 1000 when Special is lit, then the 9th position make/break switch on the Sequence Unit is likely in a make/make state.

Nope it's all good not scoring 1000 when lit

It's nice to have an actual game where I am not rolling it over on the first ball lol...

#21 9 years ago

It's on 5 balls I don't know how to change that.
What is an average score?

#26 9 years ago

It's just fine right now on 5 balls I am averaging in the 30,000s occasionally higher

Quoted from ccotenj:

sounds like it is hard enough for now then...
you've got two learning curves to deal with right now...
first, mikeo mentioned earlier that you'll learn the "personality" of the machine and it may (or may not) need to be adjusted some to keep it in that "just hard enough to not beat regularly" zone...
second one is that you have to learn how to play "em pinball"... NUDGE that bad boy...

I bruised my hand is that nudging it enough for ya

Quoted from o-din:

Soooo... basically this machine fixed itself?

No... I fixed the stepper about a week ago. I cleaned everything as best I could lubed stuff and it's playing pretty good the kick out ball relay is still temperamental. Mike came over yesterday but there wasn't much for him to do so he didn't even charge me. Not sure what you meant by the comment. Maybe you didn't see my other posts.

Brian I usually get your humor but you lost me on this one.

#41 9 years ago

Yep I have to push start a few times

#44 9 years ago

A sticky relay I would imagine

If I activate the ball eject switch by hand it kicks it out.

It might have been edited. See if you get my music. My favorite new song this week.

Quoted from MikeO:

What switch are you calling the ball eject switch?

#56 9 years ago

It is just on the first ball it won't eject ounce the first ball ejects it is fine the rest of the 5 balls.

Quoted from MikeO:

I was clearly using the wrong terminology above. The Ball Return switch (not the Trough Switch) is what is part of the circuit here.
Here is a snippet from the schematic of this circuit. The A relay is the Reset Completed Relay.
Need to inspect switches on A relay and at score motor switch positions 1C and 2B.

What am I looking for?
This might be above my pay grade..
