Hey all, first EM, I’ve got a few things going and repaired, but still haven’t got it to “fire up”
I’m going to add a couple pics, then head to laptop to add more typing.

1. Stepper coil in head was cooked, melted sleeve in.
2. Wire off said coil
3. Relay 115v - spring missing.
4. The switches with the yellow pusher tabs are lined up,but don't know how they are supposed to be pushed on.

I can plug it in, nothing. If I push the 115v relay coil, it will power up. Then I cannot do anything else yet. Don't quite know where to head going forward now. Can't add a credit, cant start a game. Don't know if all balls need to be in trough to start a game or not? I bet i'm real close here, just need a nudge

Well, progress.
Trying to follow that schematic, can’t seem to find my starting points I made a long alligator clip jumper to use.

If I toss a coin in, it directly resets everything and opens the ball gate coil.

If I manually add credits on the wheel. I can hit the start button and the same happens as if I pushed 1 coin in if there is no credits. Still haven’t got a scoring or flipper action. Must be missing something.

Check all the switches that are stacked with a relay? Dang, i'm sure i've been through them all, but, i'll look through all again for sure.
Like all of these?

Thx, yeah, i'm pretty good with all this stuff. It's just my first EM, that's all. I had just circle the block switches that were attached/located with a relay
I have adjusted every switch so far I think (using a handy dandy switch adjuster tool, thank goodness I pre-bought it no even knowing I would grab an EM) Of 100% of the switches, I bet 40-60% were out in some capacity, some that were supposed to be normally closed were open and vice versa. Many of them were too far gapped, I've been watching Nic Schell closely, watching a bit of his techniques, applying most of what i've seen. I've read some EM website stuff, steppers I need to learn and get a handle on.

That's the point i'm at now, trying to find out that one spot that's getting me (THANKS for the phone call offer Howard, i'll probably take you up on that soon..... i'm at work today, i an maybe arrange a time that's good for you one day or evening here, it's so cool you offered)

I work in the telecom industry in the central offices and etc. I’m wiring some fuse panels for some fibre equipment up to our brand new bdfb today, look at these big M.F. DC power cables!!! The crimp connectors are massive!!!

OOOOOHHHHH, the "game over" relay, holy shit i'm dense, not being facetious here either, I was trying to figure out what area was "over relay"

Great call, thanks. I'll make sure I do that.

I called into the "call centre" of HowardR and he walked me through some simple for most, but very helpful for me checks and we got the Sky Line in at least working order this evening. Walked me through using the alligator clips to strap a few switches and doing that we came across a switch that was open that should have been normally closed. Also, got it setup to accept a replay button for basically "free play". So much appreciated
