Hello to all!

After somewhat bringing back to life this game, I ran into a particular issue, the whole array of (match) lights from the backglass, 10, 20, 30... etc. don't lit neither the lights that lit when you go over 100k points. What would you suggest me to check? The matching unit clicks fine when some targets are hit. Oh... also the buzzer that comes with the 100k scoring doesn't buzz.

As usual, any help will be greatly appreciated!

Best,

~ja

Do the 1st (2nd, 3rd, 4th) Player 100,000 relay(s) activate when this happens?

Bringing back this post from the dead, I was able to make the game light the 10, 20, 30... etc. lights at the end of the game thank you!

But... still, the 100k buzz won't come out at a 100k score, it will buzz at 20k on player 4 and at 60k on player 3. Any idea?

Many thanks!

Check that the 9th position switches on the 10000pt wheels are working properly:

I will, but still... why it will buzz on player 3 at 60k and on player 4 at 20k when on player 1 and 2 doesn't buzz at all

Thanks!

Actually... I just recheck the game, Player 1 no buz at all, Player 2 buzzes at 90 k, player 3 buzzes at the correct score, 100k, player 4 buzzes at 90k and at 100k. Huh? I'm a bit confused on which switches I should check...

Thanks for any input will be appreciated!

Your 10K reel on player 1 never sets the needed switch to the "9" position (possible broken plastic notch on reel, or badly aligned switch...and the other player reels reach the "9" position too early due to miss-alignment.

Thank you! but the reel that trigger the buzz is the 10k one only, right?

Thanks again!

So just a small update, i adjusted the 9th position switches of all the 10k reels and the buzz works at the 100k for player 2,3 and 4. Player 1 doesn’t buzz

Any hints of what should i look for?

Thanks!

Sooo… i jumped the 9th switch wire (brown / yellow) from player 1 to the 9th switch wire of player 3 (same color code) and now player 1 buzzes correctly… so i guess there is a broken wire somewhere, right?

Thoughts? thanks!
