I'm hoping someone can give me some advice regarding this problem that developed on my Gottlieb Atlantis.
Scenario:
My game was feeding an extra ball after ball 5.
The game was over, but the ball was fed into the shooter lane and it had to be plunged in order to return it to the outhole.
I did some research and found out that this problem is typically corrected by cleaning and aligning the ball count relay.
So I examine the ball count relay and find that it is misaligned.
I also notice that the rivets are dull. So I sand and clean the rivets.
I clean and sand the snow shoe connectors. I correct the alignment.
The extra ball issue is resolved and the game plays correctly.
After 2-3 games, I try to restart a new game and the AS Relays starts continuously spinning.
I do some more research and find that the AS is very finicky. So I disconnect the relay and I am able to start a game without a problem.
However, the very next game, I attempt to start a game, and the scoring motor starts to run continuously. I turn off the game and reconnect the AS Relay.
Now the scoring motor will stop, but the AS Relay will not.
I power off the game, disconnect the AS Relay and the scoring motor starts spinning the moment I turn on the game.
Synopsis of my actions:
Other than cleaning the ball unit, I haven't cleaned or corrected any switch and/or relay.
Any advice would be very helpful. I have a schematic, but as far as I can tell, the AS Relay only controls the 00-09 match unit.
Thanks in advance for any help.
