First technical issue with my first pin (1976 gottlieb)
I got a 1976 gottleib sure shot about a month ago and have discovered an issue. When the top five lanes are hit the pop bumpers all light up giving you 1000 points for each hit. When all lanes are hit on my machine and the 1000 bumpers are hit there is a hum coming from the assembly inside the cabinet that emits bell tones housing three coils. At this time the game no longer keeps score unless the ball hits any of the rubbers. Of the three coils in the bell assembly the two on the right stay raised and the far left does not rise at all. When I push down on the two right coils I feel them resisting as if they are attempting to push themselves farther up but I think they are stuck. When the pop bumpers are lit they are supposed to emit a ring when they are hit,they are not. The hum goes away when all balls are lost/gameover. I feel like I am not explaining it well enough so I have posted videos of exactly what it is doing.
