I’m working on a 1964 Williams River Boat. Cleaned all switches, steppers all working smoothly. Go to start a game, push left flipper button game lights up, game has credits. Push start button nothing! Manually activate coin re, reset relay activates, score reels reset to zero, but game still does not play.

Here is a pic of the lock re, after the left flipper button is pushed. The second switch from the right is Green/Red from the lock re to the 0 at zero RP SU. This switch is open when the lock relay is active. The schematic shows it closed. I checked that circuit by holding that switch closed and that circuit worked fine. Am I misreading the schematic?

HowardR - I checked that circuit it it good. Here are a few things i noticed:
1. when the left flipper button is push the lights come on, and the center target begins to move back and forth. Not sure this should be happening. Circuit for this is located at G8
2. the Game Over light is not lit.
3. if i trip the Game Over Re. the motor continues to run, will not stop until i latch the Game Over Re. Circuit for this is also at G8.
Am i looking in right direction?
baldtwit,
Quoted from baldtwit:ook around schem C1 ... what howard posted above. When you close the left flipper button switch, the transformer is powered. That causes the lock relay to power and stay powered forever (unless someone opens a "knock-off sw"). Then back to the 120V circuits and you'll see a couple lock relay switches in series that will keep the power on the transformer.
the rest of the switches in that area mean you can also wake the game up depositing coins or pushing the replay button if you have credits.
Understand That
Quoted from baldtwit:per schem B5, the game over light comes on when both the game over relay AND the tilt relay are tripped. Note when both are tripped, the tilt light is not turned on.
Ok that checks out
Quoted from baldtwit:so IF you wake up the game with the left flipper button but for whatever reason the game relay hasn't tripped, the replay button will not work. If that's the state you are in, see if the tilt relay has tripped.
OK, this is what is happening. the Game Re. at G8 is not tripping. So if I understand you I need to find out why the Game Relay is not tripping after the left flipper button is pushed.
