Hi everyone...I think I might have gotten in over my head...

I have a 1961 Bo-Bo pinball by williams and it's driving me crazy...

I had problems locating fuses and such...now she buzzes when I push the start game button and after replacing a fuse, she buzzes in the back area near the score wheel...

Most of the lights work after changing the bulbs, I tried to set her on free play, but she only gives free balls...and someone already butchered her...not sure where to start...

Any advice would help...I have been using marvins guides, but still not much luck.
 
The buzz is most likely an energized solenoid. There is likely a switch stack that is stuck, though it is possible that the solenoid is supposed to be energized. Do you have a manual or schematic for the machine? If you do not contact Steve Young at 'The Piniball Resource'. Only once has he not had a manual for me, and that machine was a 1950 model.


Also, this should have been posted in the pinball forum, it gets more traffic and quicker responses...
 
Yeah, as long as it is a pinball it goes in the pinball forum. EM arcade machines are the focus of this forum. They are very similar but the pinball forum gets much more traffic than this forum and the help will be quicker...
