Matrix in my headboard

[femto]

I noticed a series of holes in the wood in the headboard near the score wheels of my Card Whiz EM machine and am wondering what they are all about. I imagine they are pins used to configure game function? I don't have schematics yet but figure this type of thing is common place on an EM machine. I would love any info on what this is all about.
And how do I insert an image into a post? I gave up and made the pic an attachment. Thanks guys

anybody??

They are for you "match" game settings to earn credits. Do you have the schematics / manual ? There should be a card in the head with the settings. You plug the wires into the corresponding Jones plug.

No I dont have the manual/schematics yet and haven't seen a relevant card in the head. I guessed they must have some config purpose as a couple are plugged into a Jones connector nearby. Once I get the manual all will be revealed and thanks for the info.

looks to me like the 'High score replay' plugs, for setting up the high scores for which credits are awarded. As Nino says there should be a card in the headbox showing the score settings. Not sure if the settings are in the manual, i dont recall ever seeing them in a manual but i could be wrong  

Maybe another member with a Card Whiz could photograph or scan their setting card for you?.

I'll be working on a Card Whiz soon, which im pretty sure has the card still in the headbox, if no one else can help i can scan or get a pic if need be

Stupid me 

Just rebuilt a match unit and the High score wiring / jones plug is nearby, so I confused the two. You are right mitch. It is for the first and second high score replay adjustment.

I went through the cards from the headbox and found the card with the info for this. I had seen this card before and couldn't make sense of it but with the info from you gents it all makes sense now. The big problem now is figuring how it all works so I can troubleshoot a note on one wire that says "don't connect 7 it doesn't work". This is not that big a deal but I plan follow this up to see why No.7 doesn't work if I can. Thanks again for the help.

You can pull em all out and not affect the game at all... it is nice though to get a good score and suddenly hear THWACK!!!!! as a replay is awarded.

[femto]

Yes the thwack sound of a replay was the holy grail for me growing up. Followed sometimes by the disgust of clocking the machine and going back to zero to start again. It wasn't until the SS machines and later that high scores were kept for all to see and brag about. Still...the replay credit went a long way to massaging the ego.

In fact I recall guys in my neighbourhood letting a ball go at a stage of the game closest to clocking the game to get the highest number. Pity those who still had a ball left and then letting it go to score points on the way thru to clock the game. I think some used to tilt the machine once they had come as close as possible to clocking. Not sure why now tho as the high score only stays until the next game!
