*Wisconsin Pinball

Well I got it. Some wires were cut on the coin door. Once it was running I found a lot more errors. Ball doesn't launch, no ball counter, bonuses don't add, bumpers don't work, etc. There's a bit more, but this one will be one hell of a project... it looks so nice though.

No I bought it like that. The game over light stay on and that's about it. I haven't messed with it yet. The button on the door does absolutely nothing. If I reset the Game Over Relay by hand it kicks back on as soon as I plug it in.

Hello.

I just bought anotger EM, a Gottlieb Far Out machine. It stays in game over and won't reset at all. If I hit the start button nothing happens. Also, when I manually push in the QB/Game Over Relay, it buzzes pretty loud. Any help to get me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I think I know a lot about how this machine works now. I am still planning on picking up the Far Out machine next weekend if that is okay with you.

Looks very nice.

Well they do reset, just not by the door button. But I will when I get home and let you know what I find out.

I think I got it all working... except one thing... :shock: The 1-6 rollovers don't reset after a new game. I must turn it off and back on for it to work. I am glad it's up and running okay again. Thanks everyone for your help. I think I spent like 5 hours watching videos about AX relays. Finally ti...

I'll have to take a look. I believe it to be the scoring motor, and I really don't like looking at that. There's a ton of contacts there. If and when I do adjust contacts, I adjust them at the base. I made a bender out of some steel at work kinda like the ones that they sell. Works like a charm.

What would cause the scoring to be added wrong? Is it the scoring motor or the relays themselves?

Well I thought I was. This ax relay is giving me a very hard time again. Scores haywire and I dont even know about the ball count and roll over switches anymore. At the moment it is a glorified night light. Don't mind looking at it though. I'll get this beast going eventually. Just been taking every...

Well after a whole afternoon of tinkering I think I have it figured out. :) On the backboard there is an AX switch. The relay isn't pulling back all the way. I poked it with a stick (AX) and it stopped cycling. I was able to play a round with 3 ball. Some reason on 5 ball I don't get 5, only 4. But ...

It's alright Mark. I will figure it out eventually. It's all learning. Maybe when I get the Far Out that will be a simple fix and then I can use that for my play one while I work on this one.

It was working okay when purchased. I played it throughout the day and slowly things started acting weird. At first you could get about 10 games in before the score reel would cycle. I would power it off and after a few tries it would work again. The more it happened the easier it was for it to lock...

So... I got it to stop resetting (only on the 5 ball setting, the 3 ball setting just puts it back in the reset loop.) The 1,000 digit score reel doesn't reset unless the reel displays a 9. Even after it resets, the ball launcher doesn't register and if I manually push the ball rollover next to the ...

Haha, never mind. It's stuck on startup again.
