Email from hjh632 :

I now notice when a game starts and I take the ball out, that manually closing the ball trough (drain) switch activates the F relay (B relay Delay Relay) and that F relay stays locked on - I don’t think it should lock on. Then nothing happens, ball count does not subtract from 5 to 4, ball release does not open to the ball lifter.
I get very lost on the schematic on all the paths leading up to the ‘subtract ball to play’ unit. Generally I’m good if I know a switch to check if it’s making contact or not. Over several months I’ve read through dozens of your responses to other people - I probably can do the jumpering you so often recommend, but have trouble finding faded wire colors. 70 y.o. eyeballs don’t help!

Quoted from HowardR:

F relay stays locked on

Coils locking on that shouldn't is the first thing to fix because they'll burn out.

Which one(s) of these 4 switches is keeping the F relay locked on?
