Brite Star
Gottlieb, 1958Just acquired my first wood rail, a Gottlieb Brite Star. I’m having trouble with the pop bumpers. They will not alternate between the two green ones and the two red ones. It also will not roll over the 100s on the score reels (2 player). I’m not sure if they are a related issue or not? I’m still a rookie at this but making some progress. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The alternating relay will have some 3 blade make/break switches, and one or more of those are probably out of adjustment.
For a switch to work 3 things are necessary:
1) When open, there should be a small space between the contact points (duh)
2) When closing, the long blade's contact point should push the short blade's contact point enough to move the short blade
3) The contact points should be clean, which they usually will be if #2 is happening
