Hey guys I am brand new to pinball and just picked up Totem by Gottleib. I am super pumped to finally own a pinball machine. There are a few playfield targets that are not working and would appreciate any feedback you guys have on getting things back to working order. Thanks in advance!

The vari target scores only on the 3000 point area. Nothing happens at 5000. When the pinball rolls over 'D' and the 'Add 5 bonus' lane nothing happens as well. Thanks.

Do yourself a favor and give it the full Monty, rather than pick and poke around the scab.

Pay attention to low voltage nfpd high voltage contacts.

Well after some troubleshooting I've managed to get the vari target and three of the roll over switches working. Replaced a few molex connectors on J7. Pins 10 and 11 were in rough shape. Also cleaned the switch contacts. Thanks again for the links.

I know this is an old thread. Just wanted to mention you have a rare alternate playfield with that black stripe.

Yeah I was reading up a bit about that. Do you know why/ how many playfields were made this way? Thanks lint.
