I have the manual and schematic, but I'm having trouble interpreting what should be in this circuit. The situation is that, during game play on 5 ball setting, the side drops score 500 as they should. On 3 ball setting, the side drops do not score at all. The upper drops do not score during game play, regardless of setting. Bonus scores correctly. Each time a side target is dropped, the score motor turns and the D Relay activates. Each time a top target is dropped, the score motor turns and the C Relay activates. I'm completely stumped. Everything else on the game (save a sometimes sluggish bonus unit) appears to work correctly. The switches on the target units and relays are clean and properly gapped. Any thoughts on where I should be looking, either on the schematic or the game itself, greatly appreciated!

According to the instruction card on IPDB, the side drops are supposed to score 300 on five ball play?

Double check all the switches in the C and D relay. Those are the ones that pull in the 100 and/or 1000s relay.

Since C & D are pulling in, this seems like the most likely culprit.
