If it’s working on player two I’d be checking the pcbs on the player one score reels

Do you have the schematic ? Find out what fires the Knocker coil through the second player circuit in the "player unit".


Is it working for the second / third high score ? ie - First is 10,000 points, second is 30,000 points - whatever it is set at.

Check the alignment and movement of the match unit (small stepper unit) also check the pcb on the 10s unit of each player

Well done .  These games need tons of little tweaks to get them 100%

My solar city will match on player one but not player two, match relay seems fine and 10s relay pcb is good what else can I check. Thanks
