Royal Flush
Gottlieb, 1976I have been working on my royal flush and all works as should, kicks ball out at start of game BUT.. On the first ball after ball drains, it keeps giving me 1000 points and won't kick the ball to the shooter lane. I manually put ball in shooter lane after ball one dranes and ball 2 and 3 work fine with the kicker working. Any Ideas?
Does the 'O' relay engage?
Is the score motor running continuously?
Does it look like the outhole kicker is firing at all?
Not sure what your last sentence means though.
Hi DirtFlipper. I have not turned the game on yet since reading this post. The machine starts up, press start, motor runs and scores reset ball kicks out to shooter lane. I play the first ball then once it drains and is sitting in the ball kicker, it stays there and just gives me 1000 points and the lights at the bank and in the pop bumper blink with the chimes as its given me points.
Now I take my finger and eject the ball to the shooter lane for ball 2 it plays and drains it gives me double bonus as it should and kicks it out for ball 3. I play the 3 ball finish and game ends.
I completely restored the machine. had most of it apart on the PF for touch ups and clearing. the bottom board just cleaned and adjusted. I know I'm just tripped up on some adjustment
I don't have a RF schematic, but the outhole kicker ('Ball Return') coil is usually activated by a switch on the Ball Return relay 'O' along with a score motor switch (like at position 4C), and one or two other switches. One of them is often on the 'Last Ball' relay.
Since it's working at game start, and there's a definite behavior, I'd suggest observing if the 'O' relay is activating at that point (it should close, lock on, and stay closed until the outhole kicker fires), and then debug from there. (If 'O' is not activating, that points to the path feeding 'O'; if it is activating, then that points to the Ball Return logic, and possibly the 'Last Ball' logic).
The schematic will show the details of these two paths.
