Kinda of a newbie here. My husband and I did post one previous question and you were very kind in helping out. We need your help again with our Bally Air Aces (EM) Pinball Machine. Here's the problem:
1. Randomly the 100 point relay and 100 point chime will stay energized until we turn the power switch off and then back on and then it resets. Happens about every third or forth game but no scheme to it and can happen on any ball at any score. Sometimes we'll even play up to ten games before it acts up again.
2. We removed the play-field from the game and the backboard lights up fine and the 100 point relay (located inside the backboard) does not energize. This makes us think the problem is located on the play-field but to be honest we don't know for sure.
3. We do have a schematic and know that the components that energize the relay are the nine drop targets, left and right roll overs, bumpers, the two kick-out holes, and the 500 relay. All of these check out as okay both visually and with my multimeter set on ohms.
We are at a loss with this "ghost" problem and need your help again. Looking forward to your replies.
