Target Alpha Bonus Score Control relay (resized).jpg
#1 5 years ago

Having an issue with no bonus being awarded after ball drains. And before anyone says it, I did hit some drop downs. Although there has been a few balls I’ve played on this game where I didn’t.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does the bonus stepper unit under the pf count down at the end of the ball? It should whether or not you have any drops knocked down.

Exactly what happens when the ball drains? You need to give us more to work with than "bonus doesn't work."

Agreed.

The bonus score is controlled by the Bonus Score Control relay:

Does that fire when the ball drains? If not it could be because one of the switches in the red box isn't adjusted properly, or it could be that the Bonus Count Unit isn't resetting when the ball is kicked to the shooter lane.

Check the score motor sw. as well.

The bonus stepper unit does not count down when the ball drains. Once the ball drains the ball count increases and the drops reset. I’ll check the bonus stepper unit tomorrow.

Thanks mark, crazylevi and currieddog. Problem resolved. Although I am terrible at reading schematics, I did find them helpful in fixing the issue. The issues came down to the bonus stepper unit not resetting. And thus relay P, add player unit was the culprit and need some adjusting.

Again thanks.
