Hi guys, Thanks for getting back. ..... This morning I did the following:
1. Took off the tin score-reel (Units), checked the contacts for '0' and '9'. Cleaned contacts. Adjusted the 'brake' via the Allen screw at rear of counter frame, so that the counter does not run past the rest position at Zero. .... Tested the macine with the same result as yesterday.
2. Cleaned and checked all contacts on the re-set relay (found on the big relay bank on underside of playfield). ..... tested and the same result.
3. Checked and cleaned all contacts on the start relay (found on the main relay bnk on the motor board.) I paid careful attention to that special contact (on Start relay) which only opens when relay is completely latched. All contacts seem to be functioning correctly. Tesed the machine with the same result as yesterday.
Again, all score-reels went back to Zero, but the big coil on the relay bank (underside of playfield) keeps repeatedly pulling in and game will not rest as in the start of a new game.
.......... My Hank De Yaeger Pinball repair book does not say anything much about a problem such as I've described. All help to track this one down is appreciated. ............ Thanks, Mark
....Weren't the SYDNEY SWANS great last night. Well done team.
