Quoted from Flippersaurus:Hey all, I have this Spirit of '76 that the chimes are not working correctly during game play. They all work fine if I manually actuate the relays in the back box. Relays L,M,N. If I hit any of those with the game on I get a good strong chime. But during a game I hardly get any chimes. And when they do sound, it's often weak and even the wrong one sometimes. I'll get the 10 point when it should be 1000. It's all very inconsistent and the cross-talk has me scratching my head. All of the scoring seems fine. Bonus countdown scores correctly. But the 1000 chime rarely goes off. Any ideas?
The chime coils all share one common wire, and each also has it's own wire which comes from the corresponding relay. These wires are attached with spade connectors, and are often reinstalled out of the proper sequence. It's just a matter of connecting the proper wire to each coil to get the correct tone for each point value. The highest tone is tens, the middle tone is hundreds, and the lowest tone is thousands.
