Hi -

I’ve got my student prince working almost perfect. The only remaining issue is:

-3 ball game works perfect. game ends as it should after ball 3 drains

HERES THE ISSUE- on a 5 ball game, game ends on ball 4. Never gets to ball 5

I can’t figure out for the life of me what’s going on.

I would appreciate any suggestions pointing me in the right direction!

Thx
Pete

I don't have a Student Prince schematic but this bit from the Cabaret schematic might be similar:

In a 3 ball game the blue-brown wire on the Ball Count Unit is shorted to the blue-red wire (as shown) that leads to the Game Over trip relay. In a 5 ball game there should be no connection between those two wires. The blue-brown wire might be getting shorted to the blue-red on a 5 ball game when the Ball Count Unit reaches the 4th ball. Check those two wires both at the Ball Count Unit and at the 3/5 ball adjustment dial.
