Yes, if you manually push in the 500 point relay during an active game, then it should score 500 points... The target switches send power directly to the 500 point relay coil. Check the condition of the target switches and check to make sure the playfield Jones plugs are clean and firmly connected to the main board.

If nothing happens when you manually push in the 500 point relay, check the adjustment on those relay switches and make sure all the switch contacts are clean.

It should spin the score motor and give you 500 points.

Things are a bit confusing here: the L&R sw. go into the 500 relay (which is probably in the bottom of the cabinet) which is then supposed to feed 5 pulses to the 100 pt. relay (follow the line around from A22 to E20.5 on the schematic), so what's happening is that those are not getting there. Check the contacts and the solders at the 500 and the wires from it that go to the 100.

Yes, more obvious-check those first.

This relay is under the playfield.

I had a game that wasn't scoring 5000 point switches. my score motor was missing a spacer for the 1000 point relay. So I always recommend checking the switch stacks on the score motor to make sure they're complete. It may be worth testing continuity, if there's a visual indication that it may be problematic (like rust).

If the 500 relay is clean and functioning, it will trigger the score motor. Only the score motor can increment scores (like 300 or 500) depending o the number of cogs on the wheel. If you are triggering the score motor and sometimes getting two three or five hundred, the likely culprit is power contacts in the switch stack on the reel on the score motor with five cogs.

These connections are all good?

You also might want to make sure that score motor sw. 5B is clean and making solid contact.

I think that's correct. The switch on the PF triggers the 500 point relay which in turn triggers the score motor. One of the switched on the score motor stack probably acts as a hold on the relay until the cycle is completed.

I am not 100% certain, but check the entire stack on the score motor to make sure they are clean and properly adjusted. If they are report back.

Dave

No, it looks like that but it's 5B. Take a look at the whole schematic.

And it's the A sw. on the 500 that does the hold. Make sure it's making solid contact when energized.

Can you post a full picture of the 500 point relay.

If it is scoring various increments of 100 either the relay is not being held closed during the whole cycle or the switches that get pulsed by the cogs from the score motor going to the score reel or dirty/poorly gapped and not making good contact every time.

Dave

Focus on this switch A which appears to be on the bottom of the stack of the second wheel on the score motor with five cogs.

Don't the rest of the 100 multiples score ok?

Recently it was in this area of the score motor I discovered a short between switch stack soldered connection points, I had to remove each switch stack and closely scrutinize to find it. Boom! Fixed it.

Good point.

It appears GP only scores on multiple of 5... is there anything else on the game that scores either 5 hundred or five thousand?

Either way, there are onlt two 5 cog wheels on the score motor and it does not appear that the first one scores anything.

Does the score wheel make a full 180 degree turn when energized or does it stop part way?

Dave

Excellent...seeing that 5B has the 500 point relay lock makes that logical.

Good work.
