Hi all. I just purchased my first two pinball machines from a collector, a 1974 Bally 'Bow and Arrow' and a 1973 Williams 'Gulfstream'. I need a little tech help with the Gulfstream.
It was playing fine for a few dozen games. Immediately after playing one game, the game reset button would not restart the game, lights were still on. I powered the game off and unplugged it. Powered it back up and pressed the reset button. Nothing happens, lights do not come on. When I press the left flipper button the lights come on and the lock relay energizes but nothing else happens. I thought maybe the score motor was stuck so I moved it manually with power off. When I powered back up it reset to zero as expected.
There were/are no odd smells, no obvious repairs, all the fuses I could find look OK, don't see any burnt coils. I cleaned the contacts on the reset switch but no change. I do have the original schematics. Not sure what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Greg
