http://www.planetarypinball.com/reference/partsmanuals/WMS_Parts_1964/index.html#/50/zoomed

Now on the other 2 wires. Ok try contacting other owners of the same by Pm -ing them->

Pinball resource has universal bell assy. Unless you are going for an exact Oem part.
Can also be converted for use in Williams, Bally, Chicago Coin, and even arcade games, you need to contact Pbr for the game and what voltage it runs on.

Looks like 2 other pinsiders have this pin.

I just got a Swing Time pinball machine but when I plug it in, nothing lights up or clicks. I opened the machine and the four fuses are good and I do have some voltages inside but without a schematic or a little know-how, I have no idea what I am looking for. Does anyone have a schematic or common points of problems to look for? I am an electrical engineer and feel very comfortable troubleshooting electronics. The guy who gave it to me said it used to work but was in his garage for many years.

Try hitting the left flipper

the hold coil will need to energize before anything else will happen........pin repair website for start sequence and troubleshooting advice.

Tried left and right flippers and nothing. Which repair website do you recommend?
-Dave

Pinrepair.com or pinwiki.com the very first thing you should do is test the transformer.

Also get a schematic. It may be on ipdb.

Start a new thread and we can walk you thru it

Hey dvct, can you post a couple pics of yours for CVSPINS? Who knows, maybe he has a schematic...

If it were mine first thing I'd do is put a meter on the primary terminals of the transformer. Line voltage (120vAC) should be present on these terminals when the power switch is on. Could just be a bad $3 switch or fuse/fuse holder.

Kinkos has a large scanner that they can run your schematic through for you.

Shouldn't be more than a few bucks and then you'll have it electronically.

I'd live a copy too.

My buddy has a Swing Time that I occasionally fix for him and it would be a great help since he's cheap and doesn't want to springbforva schematic.

I see 4 cut wires in the picture.

2 on the right and then 2 on the left.

All 4 go to the coil for the small bell.

Keep the blacks together and the orange with red strip to the other side of the coil.

The small bell is for both 1 point and 10 points so there are wires from both relays. Not sure why there is 2 black wires, but it just might be a way to connect commons together.

You can try it by hooking the orange ones one at a time to the large bell and activating the ones and tens pt to see if you get a chime.

Good luck.

Looking at the schematic I think this is the only way to turn the game on.

Putting a coin in triggers the coin switch.

As long as the anti cheat switch is closed and the normally closed switch either the lock relay or the game over relay (latch) is cleaned and set correctly then 120v is applied to the transformer and the game should start.

Check your kick off switch. normally its on the bottom. you can kick the machine to open the switch to turn it off. If its stuck open youre not gonna get any power

You just write in the score w/erasable marker on that 'window' on the bg for high score. Enjoy your game!

Yup! High tech isn't it?

Depends on what type of marker you use. ; )

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. My coin sensor rejects anything I put in it so if I short the two terminals on the back of the coin door, the machine came to life. It was truly a beautiful thing. Now, how do I trick the machine into a valid coin being inserted and start a new game?

Sounds like the coin mech lock out linkage is stuck.
Photo?

Sorry, new this. Photo of what? The bottom relay board, back of the coin door or somewhere else?

I have included with this post the picture of the back of my coin door showing the 2 terminals that I short to make the game come to life. Any help on previous question would be awesome. The relay board looks exactly like the post 12 previous named photo.jpg from CVSPINS

Ok the coin switch is bad,not to be confused with coin lockout linkage.
Try here to match one up. http://www.marcospecialties.com/control/keywordsearch;jsessionid=5AACE7CC5B23D0C9865389A892292DA0.jvm1?SEARCH_STRING=coin+switch

Check continuity just to verify.

You could also set it on Free play if you want to instead of using the coin switch.

As 'Pin-It' stated check continuity across the wires when you drop a coin into the mechanism.
The wire connection on the left doesn't look too good. I would carefully resolder both wires.
It could also be a 'broken switch' ( internally), or the metal actuator ( tripped by coin) could be broken.
* I just had the same problem on a different machine. The terminal connection was so bad it just broke when trying to re-solder it. Luckily there was enough left that i could solder the wire to it. These are delicate switches, so be careful with it.
*** Most likely the solder connections............. IMO.

to make free play, You could swap the wires from the coin SW to the slam Sw, then when you want to start a game, you simple bash the coin door with your fist and say Hayyyyyyy!!!
Opps, showing my age!!

The Fonzie method ^^^,i like it!

Too late we are all that.

i am SOOOOOO tempted to do this "mod"... that would be wicked cool, and since i already have the slam switches bypassed, there'd be no loss...

Do it, it’s your machine, impress friends, have a laugh, have some fun!!!!!!!!!.

PS great pic, it catches the moment.

yea, that's pretty much a perfect "happy days" pic... although looking at how young they look makes me feel old...
