Hello all,

I am new here and just got the sapce odyssey machine as well. We were able to play it fine when we picked it up, but then after transport it seems to be stuck in 'game over' mode. That is, we can press the credit button and the scores turn to 0 and it tries to go to player 1 but then immediately goes back to game over and we cant play. I am not an electrical engineer, but we do have the schematics. We also have cleaned the connections in the game over relay and noticed that the ball index realy does not operate even manually. I was wondering if anyone had any insight or tips as it seems that everything else is operational.

Really appreciate any help!

First... how was it transported? Did you remove the head, disconnect jones plugs? If so, go back and double check that they are all correctly re-attached. If they are, reseat them one more time.

Quoted from Tully0530:

then immediately goes back to game over

There are 4 ways the Game Over relay trip coil can get power. Most likely the Lock relay isn't staying energized.

Thank you for the quick responses! I admit i am a novice. We took the head off and reattached the wires and the jones plugs several times to insure they are all seated properly. I will check the lock relay as well. Really appreciate the help!

Yes! Thank you, Howard!! We looked closer and the lock relay switch had come loose and when we put it back in place it worked!! Thank you for guiding us where to look!! We were cheering for you when we got it to work properly!!
