My 2 outlane rollovers for 10000 and gold bonus advance haven't been registering. I ordered schematic/manual from Marco and got yesterday. First time really having to tackle an em fault besides a loose wire that ive fixed several times. Found the rollover relay and was checking the switches and either the manual is wrong or my wires are wrong. So switch 1b has yellow and grey/orange listed and switch 1a has redbrown and greenbrown. My wiring is yellow and greenbrown for 1b and redbrown and greyorange for 1a. Could someone check their wires on the rollover relay would be great. Also switch 1b is no and its showing on cont test to be shorted.thx for any help.

So is it accepted etiquette to pm
owners if I need some assistance?
I don't want to be pushy. Was hoping
For an owner to chime in.

On the playfield next to the left "NO Match" relay ("Left & Right Roll over" second from the right)

Thank you! Yours is wired as it shows
In manual and mine has the Orange grey
and greenbrown reversed. I'll switch mine and see
what happens. Maybe this will fix problem . Fingers crossed.

Long post ahead. Lol..I switched the two wires . Then I
Pushed down rollover switch. Nothing. Ok . Now the lock relay coil
is buzzing a little louder. Research that and make some adjustments and.decrease the buzz. I then start game(have playfield up) and using piece of scrap cherry i manually
move actuator plate and 10000 is scored and gold bonus
advances. Ok so that's wired right now. I'm not getting power to relay
coil. So I pore over schematics for awhile and my head is
spinning but I'm getting my feet wet for sure. I had tested the resistance of the lockout coil and so I thought hmm..let me check
The rollover relay coil. Mind you that I have been reading a gazillion posts on here about basic em troubleshooting,understanding schematics and all
manner of em info for about 10 days straight. So much good info and great pinsiders. I test the coil and get no reading so I test
all the other relay coils in that section and I am getting a reading.
Remove the relay from board and using magnifying glass it
looks like one of the windings is not soldered well/loose. Fire up
iron and solder winding better. Reattach relay. Big moment hahaha
Turn on game.start game.activate rollover switch. BOOM!
I freaking fixed it! Such a great feeling. Thx for all the help and info
In this forum. Long goofy post but it felt very rewarding . Thx for reading.
