Howdy pinball fans, ... Just thought I'd put up a few more pics, and give a bit of a rundown on how things went. I worked out the things that were not quite right, except for one thing. It still won't respond off the replay button, but all else solved. I learned a few things....the not adding or subtracting replays was solved by adjustment of contacts in the free game unit in the head. I just worked both add and subtract coils by hand, and watched when switches were either opened or closed. Often when you know what the part is supposed to be doing on the game, you can just watch and see if a contact is working or not. The problem about the '9' not going out when ball rolls through the '14' and '9' rollover was tricky. I first thought that the problem would be in the #9 stuff in the head. Not so. When I looked at the contacts and solder on the blades it all looked fine...But I decided to 'freshen' all the solder to those blades. Now both '14' and '9' drop as they should, so the problem must have been a 'dry' solder join on one of those blades. Apart from that I had to pull one of the score reels down .. (and for the first time ever, I loosened off the Allan key nut on outside of score reel, and slightly 'moved' a supporting block on inside of score reel. This worked so that the 'spring back' effect worked cleanly and properly. This made the score reel work as it should.
I also learned how much I really love Gottlieb wedgeheads of the 60's. They're just great machines, with great functioning mechanical parts. Anyway, a few pics. Cheers, Mark
