to make helping easier, you guys can find the twin joker schematic in:
http://bingo.cdyn.com/machines/bally/twin_joker/resources
the schematic symbols are a bit different. The shuffle (shutter) switches appear to be drawn when the shutter is closed.
assuming the ball lifter stops when all the balls are out of the trough, you've either got the manual ball lift push button switch stuck closed, or the ball lift relay is not working right. With the balls out of the machine so you can lift up the playfield with the power on:
- push down the "shooter alley" rollover - that's the ball runway/lane switch in bingo terminology. The ball lift relay should power and stay powered
- lift the ball gate flap (rebound gate) at the top of the runway. The ball lift relay should unpower.
it's the ball lift relay that turns the lift motor off/on, and there's the index ball lift motor switch that keeps the motor running until the lifter arms has reached the bottom again.
if the index ball lift motor switch was stuck closed, the motor would always run unless the 1st player tilt relay was tripped. That doesn't sound like your problem.
