I have just recently purchased a Skee-Ball Lane, Model-H.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to change it to Free Play?

Also is there any other setting that I can change?
I have found 8 jumpers on the main board, I browsed online and found out that they are for number of coins 1-4, number of balls and number of tickets.

I did not find anything about Free-Play.

Also i notice that the machine's winner light and song play after a score of 50 is reached. is it possible to change that?

Also a free game is given when a score of 400 is reached, it is possible to change that?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm assuming this is the old school kind?

to answer your free play question, if I recall these games kinda "always ran" (we operated them in the 80s) if I'm not mistaken its only real method of control was you put a coin in, the ball release solenoid kicks in, balls roll down, and it just quits after the switch inside the lane is triggered x amount of times (eg. if you have 5 balls installed in the machine, the solenoid will lock after the 4th ball, leaving you the 5 balls loose to continue rolling)

I think you can make it "free play" by just removing the ball release solenoid. I'm not sure how similar it is to the newer Skee Ball units, but I'm sure it's the same monster that runs off 120VAC.

I don't know about the winners light and how you adjust that. frankly I don't remember our old machines having sound, so we might not even be talking about the same model. :(

I encourage you call Skee Ball up, they're based out of Pennsylvania. let them know what you wish to do with it.

good luck
 
What I did for mine was remove the coin mech and wire a momentary pushbutton to the coin connector. Pushing the button simulated inserting a coin.

oy, why didn't I think of that? LOL

that's what they do at IAAPA, they wire up little pushbuttons for coining the games up.
