Sheriff
Gottlieb, 1971Need help troubleshooting a Gottlieb Sheriff. When I try to start a game it gets stuck in reset. Motor runs and a stepper under the playfield runs. I think it's a bonus step up/down unit. I cleaned all the switches and wipers on the bonus stepper but the game still won't reset and kick out a ball. Also, if I switch the score reels off of zero manually, only the player 4 reels and the thousands and ten thousands reels on player three reset.
What should I do next?
Quoted from HowardR:check these switches, one on each the 6 score reels that do reset. Likely one of them is never opening.
Thanks HowardR !
Is that an orange wire with green stripe?
My old eyes are having trouble reading the diagram on my phone.
Quoted from KW_pins:Is that an orange wire with green stripe?
Yes
I cleaned all the score reels and adjusted all the switch positions so they're all opened at 0 now. The bonus stepper unit under the playfield just keeps going and going now along with the reset motor.
What should I check next? Thanks in advance
Quoted from HowardR:check this circuit
Which circuit?
Also, Thank you @HowardR! These diagrams are SUPER helpful!
