Hey guys. New here and I'm in desperate need of some help.

My dad gave me his old Williams Pat Hand pinball machine after it stopped working for him. Said it just stopped working.

Got it to my house, and was able to play one ball and then it stopped working for me. At first I thought it was just the ball kicker solenoid so I swapped it out but still isn't working.

Currently the "1" will light of for first ball and "game over" will stay lit on the machine. . Hit reset button (even tried to jump the wires out to rule out button or contacts) and nothing happens.

I can only assume I might have multiple issues with as old as this machine is, but do you guys have a starting point for me to start trouble shooting it so I can at least get the game to start to evaluate other areas of the game?

Thanks in advance for an help you can give me. My little 5 year old girl is desperate to play this machine. Everyday she asks if she can play it. LoL

Thanks for the quick replies guys.

Smohr, I know I have the paper manual, not sure on the schematic, Id have to check. I'm just not sure where to start.

YeOldPinPlayer, thank you for those. Ill have to read through those links and go from there.
