Do you know we’re knocker is located and when you win a game no sound and game doesnt add on game counter as a win
Can you get a credit and knock if you win any of the specials in the game? If not, it could be that your credit unit thinks it is maxed out. There is a normally closed switch on the credit unit that opens when the credit unit reaches 15 credits. A pin on the rotating gear opens the switch. That prevents any more credits from being awarded and prevents the knock too. The switch has a yellow-green wire on one leaf and an orange-green wire on the other leaf.
Your game might already be at 15 credits, or that switch might be stuck open.

Hey mark wow it worked the contacts were opened the only thing now the subtract counter will go down to 1 game will not go to zero then I’m 100 percent thank you for your expertise on this machine
What you fixed is called a limit switch. It keeps the credit unit from over winding (past 15 credits). There's another limit switch, operated by another pin on the same gear, that keeps the credit unit from stepping below zero. It should open when the credit unit is at zero. It could be that yours is opening at 1 credit instead of 0 credits. The switch connects a yellow-red wire to a blue-orange wire.
Hi Mark your 2 for 2 it worked wat I think happen was when I bought the machine I notice there was tape on the peg that’s on the gear which hits contact was comping off why there was tape on the peg I don’t know so I put new tape on peg and must of put it on a extra rap and made contact hit contact to soon leaving game at one game so I removed tape and bingo it worked one thing will not haveing tape on peg be a promblem thank you Anthony
