Description
- Unfortunately, I think I failed to write up what we did! So where’s it at?
- Brian came in to help, which has been great.
- We got the weird behavior where the ball eject wouldn’t work to happen again. It was fine to start but got worse over time. We traced it to the score motor, index wheel, switch A, which gives power to the outhole switch that in turn triggers the end of ball cycle. It was finicky because it depended on exactly how far the score motor wheel advanced, and one of the two notches was more prone to cause trouble. Adjusting the switch leaf appears to have fixed it.
- Match wheel was a little wonky, so we took it apart. The screws holding the inner bracket to the main plate had worked their way loose. We tightened those, put the square circuit board back in its lowest position, and put it all back together. The shoes were correctly centered.
- After that there was a problem with ball advance. One part was a problem of ignorance; I thought the ball was advanced by the outhole switch, but it turns out it was a separate trough switch that registered the ball moving to the plunger area.
- The last issue today was a flaky T. Cleaning the related Jones plug helped some, and pinching the female Jones plug a bit helped with the rest.
- There’s still a chance either that switch or the score wheel will need tweaking, but for now we put it back.
