Honey
Williams, 1972First post. The score wheels on my Williams Honey have stopped working. They are not incrementing as points are accumulated. I have the schematics for the machine, but I wouldn't know where to begin. Also wondering if I'm going to need to get behind the head piece, as it's up against the wall in what's kind of a tight spot in my den. Any help would be appreciated.
Scoring goes through the player unit, if the wiper is misaligned that might cause it. Otherwise the circuit is pretty straightforward.
I think the player unit is in the backbox.
Does the game otherwise reset and start properly?
Is the Player 1 light lit? That is also controlled by the player unit.
Thanks very much for the reply. Other than the score not incrementing during play, the game plays perfectly. The Player 1 light works just fine. I just set up a two player game, and the score reels for the second player did not work either. Not sure if that narrows down the potential problem or not.
score reels on many williams games are called "drum units", so they are the coil symbols around E9 on the schem.
the single switch that will kill all of them is on the tilt relay ... yellow and white/orange (W-O-5) wires.
if ya stick a voltmeter on the black wire on a score reel coil and other probe on W-O-5 wire on one of the 10/100/1000 pt relay switches and don't see 24VAC, the tilt relay switch is open or you have a plug connection issue.
you should be able to go in the back and manually operate the 10/100/1000 pt relays and have the score added to the active player.
