Hi everyone,
I'm looking for advice on playing multiplayer Pinball. I have no experience in multiplayer, I have always worked with single player AAB and so I'd like some advice to help my understanding of how it works.

My Problem is: When i'm playing my Williams Lady Luck two player pinball as a single player and the ball drains, the step up coil wont fire twice and the BCU wont move from position 1 ( ball 1) to position 3 (ball 2)
I have cleaned and oiled the stepper unit count and mechanically it works well .
Can anyone kindly explain how it works and where I might look for the problem?

Many Thanks

The 2nd pulse to the Ball Count step up solenoid comes from this circuit.
If the single pulse works OK, Inspect and diagnose with Alligator clip jumper wires

HowardR , How do you make these .jpg files outlined in red? Any special software you use? Thanks!

daw6205 , Hope you got your Lady Luck working. I had a similar problem with the Lady Luck I’m working on with ball count unit not indexing at all and it was the extra ball normally closed contact not making a good connection.

Thanks HowardR , I will look at gimp, it doesn’t look like LView was updated since 2006. Doesn’t mean it’s not good now, I’m still using a 2006 version of MS Visio and it works fine for me.
