Quoted from gutz:

Thanks for the input. I will hook it back up and watch it function to better understand it. I've got all the dogs de gummed, so it should behave now. It must do a (spring) release step and wind step during each revolution?

Quoted from SteveinTexas:

I read this and wondered did you lose it in the teardown?

Quoted from megoman:

I just acquired a Williams 1962 World Series game and am super jazzed. The game has six 25 watt incandescent bulbs that over the years (96K games registered) they have melted / warped the various plastic cover parts near the bulbs (2 pcs plastic covers at front of game / 2 pcs plastic covers above running man unit / the long plastic cover with red white blue art that runs width of game where super home run hole is
No doubt some of you have had the same issue. What lower heat bulb options have you changed to?
Also, anyone know where I can get replacement plastic covers, especially the long painted one?

Quoted from megoman:

Thanks
Bat relay coil
The metal sleeve is stuck in the coil. Not sure if one piece design and supposed to be that way. If not does that mean coil needs replacing?
Today I put in a set of new 10amp slow blow fuses (good branded ones -
/ not cheap ones). Turned game on. No movement on any of the scoring reels. Pitching mechanism works. Bat worked too, but seemed weak.
Pressed all of the base hit switches on playfield and scoring man unit worked correctly . Outs clicked, but did not register anything or light up on the back board.
Inning counter advanced when I hit game button (did not reset)
And ...
One of the new fuses blew (the one marked “Normal Line - 50 volt). Below are some photos showing the fuse bank and on / off switch (looks like it’s been modified).
The game also came with a copy of the wiring diagram (World Series 1962). I can’t seem to sync the diagram with what I’m seeing inside the unit.
Guessing fuse is first thing I need to address, but not sure how to go about finding the culprit???
Thanks so much for the help![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from megoman:

Did I get that correct?

Quoted from megoman:

Once the Jones plug causing the fuse issue is identified, what are next steps to determine what specifically is causing the issue?

Quoted from megoman:

The unit clearly needs to be adjusted. Right behind the gear is a metal ring that has a small bolt that needs an Allen key (see photo). Does that need to be loosed in order to adjust the back plate? If not how is the adjustment made?

Quoted from megoman:

If not how is the adjustment made?

Quoted from SteveinTexas:

Serious answer, look at the screw marks on the shaft.

Quoted from Mopar:

Yes, that looks to be the run-out switch which would be home..
EDIT: I didn't attach any pic. No idea how that pic attached!
Anyways, I have Williams P&Bs, but not any set up, but I'm sure
that is the position when at rest..

Quoted from SteveinTexas:

If you look at the picture you attached there is one switch on the upper left that has two screws in a slotted frame. That is the adjustment..... as much as it is.

Quoted from Playdium:

Help needed with the Williams 1962 World Series pitch and bat. The game over circuit is not activating. The Tilt relay is not locked in, nor can I manually Tilt the game. The Game Over relay is not locked in either. Same goes for the Hold Relay. This is while the score motor, inning S.U., and running man unit is firing. There no innings and the 3rd out has been activated.
I have a full digital schematic.

Quoted from megoman:

Thanks for the responses
1) Innings
So a game is just one inning with only chance to get extra innings via the Super Home Run.
That actually makes sense based on how the scoring works.
Did experiment ... started new game. Activated Super HR to get extra inning.
At end of inning, the bases were cleared and inning stepped down by 1 inning. This all seems to be correct now -
Now the hi score is not firing. It had been working prior so I’ll need to fiddle with it.
Glass
Thanks for the DIMs. I believe correct thickness is 3/16”.
Two Other Things
1) Recently learned the game has a small bell that rings when a hit is made. My game seems to be missing this bell. Would appreciate if someone can send a picture of the bell + coil and location.
2) I installed a new bat coil. The coil sleeve (metal) is getting a little mis-shapen from a metal washer from the coil plunger/link/pin assembly making contact. Photo of my assembly attached - don’t know if the pin is original. I came across the attached parts list/diagram for the bat mechanism and it looks a little different than what I have. Would love to see what others have for the same 1962 game. [quoted image][quoted image]

Would love to see pic of mechanism from an actual game if someone can send

Quoted from megoman:

What is the round piece holding the plunger to the arm and is that a cotter pin on the back side keeping it in place?

Quoted from megoman:

Is there anywhere to see a description of the parts listed on the diagram?

Quoted from futurepinhead:

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I'm working on a Williams Major League. The runners are running non stop after most hits are made. There is a coil under the runners that is supposed to pop the runner up, this coil is staying activated. If I manually stop this coil from firing, it stops right away. I think some relay or switch that activates this coil is getting stuck. I have the schematics but I don't know what this coil is called. I'm guessing it is the Loading coil but I am just guessing.

Quoted from megoman:

Need some help
My 1962 World Series game is in my garage on rubber matting over the concrete floor.
Due to the dangers of electricity (lots of volts running through the game) I always wear shoes when playing or working on game.
Someone recently played a game in socks (standing on the rubber matting) and got a shock through the bat handle.
Game has a good power cord and three prong plug (I swapped both when I got the game). The game is plugged into a grounded outlet strip.
Gotta get this issue resolved. Do I need to add a ground wire to the bat assembly and then attach it to the metal plate that holds the leg bolts.
Do I need to be concerned about the pitch button as well?
Many thanks for the help

Quoted from megoman:

One last thing
The lights under the home run lamps are intermitten. They shut off when a game is over, sometimes light at the start of a game and then go off during game, or are not on at start and then turn on at some point.
On the schematic I see the playfield lifts (the 3 ramps are the only playfield lights) with no switches which leads me to believe they are supposed to be on all the time.
At this point not sure how to diagnose / repair the intermitten home run ramp light issues?
Many thanks in advance for the help

Quoted from megoman:

And now I see the other part of the schematic which shows the switches that impact the ramp lights … Game Over, Reset Hold and Tilt.
I’ll start with the 50 wire going back to Game over relay and make sure that switch good.

Quoted from phillyfan64:

More Upper Deck questions. I haven’t really messed with the running man unit or pitcher unit because they are both working fine. Where exactly do I oil the motors?
