Problem Open Minor

A few light sockets and/or related wiring is causing some bulbs to be dimly light or flashing, those are as follows:

  • Rollover 10
  • Clock 3, 6, and 7

The clock light 5, I was unable to place a new bulb within. This will need to be looked at as there is something in the socket that is preventing it from allowing a bulb to sit all the way in. Noting that the old bulb did look corroded and was difficult to remove.

Progress: 100 point scoring

What was wrong: EOS contact in the score reel wasnt properly opening, preventing the 100 score relay from opening once triggered or manually depressed. This issue would not be present once machine was closed meaning it was not a mechanical issue.

What was done: bent the part meant to depress the EOS contact back into place, seems functional now but unsure about durability

I tried:

  1. cleaning the jones plug next to the indicator disk.

  2. manually manipulating the gear/ latch mechanism in the indicator disk

  3. filing the switches on the tracking control relay.

One of these actions (im guessing 2) caused the 100s scoring to get out of sync. The top rollovers register 300 when the ball enters play instead of 500.

Also, spinning the hands on the clock activates the state tracking control relay, but is no longer activating the score motor.

I suspect manual manipulation of the indicator disk was a mistake.
