I think I cooked my Sky-Line. It’s been sitting with the head off for a few months and I decided to set it up. Stupidly I didn’t realize that two of Jones plugs had 20 pins. I plugged them in backwards (or so I think). The game powered up and the score motor would just spin and spin.

I took a second look at the plugs and noticed that one plug and receiver had an X. I had them swapped. I plugged them in the way I think they should be plugged in and now nothing. I tried swapping them back the other way since I figured I already did damage and still nothing.

I have 120 coming into the game but after that, I’m lost. I pulled all the fuses I could find in the cabinet and they all test good. I don’t see any in the head. I don’t even know where to start.

So I messed around a little more and tried tracing some wires. It looks like the power goes through some “stuff” on the inside of the coin door. I got what I think might be the credit switch, it lit up like a Christmas tree and blew the main fuse.

Replacing the fuse and it seems to be alright now. The only thing I hear is the “115 V Hold Relay” is energized all the time.

Is that supposed to be closed and have the coil energized when you start a game?

Thanks currieddog for the reply. I think I got it although I’m not sure what I actually did to fix it.

I think we cross posted. Any idea on the 115V Hold Relay? Looks like that’s supposed to be energized as long as the game is on?
