Skee Ball Model S - How does Free Play work exactly?
I got a Skee Ball Model S a while back. I'm just getting around to getting it slightly restored. I noticed in the dip switches there is an option to turn Free Play on/off. I couldn't tell what it was supposed to do because the previous owner rigged up the wiring to give a free game by pressing a special button.
How exactly does Free Play work since there isn't a "start button". I think with Skee Ball, the balls are released to you when you put in a quarter/credit. If no credits are required in Free Play, then how does the machine know when to release the balls to the new player for free?
