Quoted from Heretic_9:

The small Game Credits indicator reel only goes up to 5 ? No exceptions -- no how, no way. Or, should it go any higher, meaning there is something wrong with that reel ?

Take the back off, look at the credit wheel. It should go to 20 or 25. You will see to coils on the credit stepper unit, one steps up the other steps down. Manually step up the credit unit, make sure it steps past five mechanically. Now step it to four and check the positions of the switches, now move to five, have the switches changed state?

Quoted from Heretic_9:

Airballs tend to ricochet off the playfield glass, in the vicinity of the central 300 / 3000 target ?

Air balls do happen. Can be caused by miss adjusted play field item. Pop bumpers that have worn uneven can kick the ball up. But don’t worries you won’t break the glass.

Quoted from Heretic_9:

From time to time, I even have the ball get stuck on top of that center target's plastic cover.

Balls do get stuck from time to time, not meant to but they do. There is a thread on Pinside on where have you stuck your balls!! You ponder on how the ball even got in some of the places.

Quoted from MrArt2u:

I believe the Bally credit wheels have a pin that threads into the side of them limiting how far it rotates(for example, stopping at 5, 10, 15 etc)

I didn’t know that the stop pin is moveable, I’ll have to check mine out. Thanks

I have just taken a pic of the pin on my Credit unit.
Looks like it is just screwed in to the ratch gear, but looking at mine I think there should be a washer and nut on the back side.
It’s not a good pic, but you can see the thread sticking out the back of the gear.

Quoted from Heretic_9:

This seems to be at variance with what Chrisbee posted, above. (His pic shows something much closer to those springs.)

Remember my machine will give 25 credits, so if yours only gives 5 it will be 4 holes back from here. (one hole in this case = 5 teeth.)

Quoted from Pafasa:

The other pin is molded into the gear itself, right? I don't have a Bally credit unit in front of me and it would be worth waiting for someone else to confirm this, but here goes. Notice all the holes in the gear around the outside edge. Look closely at those holes and I bet you will find that they are threaded. If so, I bet you can unscrew the metal pin and move it to one of those holes. Each hole is going to give you a different max credit

Spot on!

Quoted from Prmailers:

Someone did a really nice job of color coding and redrawing the schematic!

Great effort!!

Quoted from Pin-it:

was wondering if thats Stevefurys work

If it was Steve, it would be Space mission or Spirit of 76
