New to the group. I have a Model S Skeeball machine that I have gone through. Person before had it set up to Free play with several things disconnected. Most game functions are working for general play. I located and inspected most wiring front to back. I had to redo several of the wire connectors as they were lose or not connected. At first it was intermittent on the scoring and ball count was not working. Now it is scoring fairly consistently and counting balls. After the last ball (9) it goes into a mode that will not let me do anything other than restart by powering down. The display says CAL with a small L in the ball count display. Took me awhile to figure out that it was saying CALL. I was thinking it was CAL for Calibrate. My knock off button does nothing and the wire coloring was not a BLUE and WHITE as stated in the manual. I had the ticket counter plug in but have since unplug the ticket counter at the ticket dispenser with no change in operation. I do believe that the coin counter has been disconnected. There is the reset button that was located in with the coin counter mechanism and I have since moved it and added a button outside of the coin counter location for access reasons. I am thinking that the "CALL" is being displayed due to something with the ticket dispenser (as it is not dispensing and only has a couple dozen tickets in it) or the coin counter. At this time though I am unable to do any programming with the Knock Off button because it is not responding any anyway when trying to enter the programming mode. The Key switch that is located on the same lower left panel had the black wire disconnected. I reconnected it but it did not do anything so since have disconnected the black wire as it was when I got it. I did discover that when I touched the black wire back to the connection point on the key switch it also reset the game and released the balls (the same action that the switch that was located in with the coin counter mechanism does when I start the game up). So essentially I have two game start/reset buttons. The key switch on the left rear panel by the knock off switch and the button that was located in with the coin counter. Sorry if that is confusing.
Also most of the Green Ground wires within the entire game have been disconnected for some reason. Please help as kids are losing faith in Dad being able to make this game work just like in the arcade. Have pictures of most if needed.
