Just picked up my second machine--first was Gottlieb Wild Life that I've had for years--second is a Williams Pat Hand I just got today. It has issues.....
Machine looks pretty good--lighted right up when plugged in--but wouldnt reset. I hit the game reset relay and the machine zero'd out the scores. Played the first ball and everything seemed to work well. When the ball got down past the flippers into the hole (sorry dont know the term for it) the machine didnt kick the ball back up to the plunger (reset for ball number two). It didnt sound like it tried to either. I checked the switch and it seems to make contact when the ball is sitting in the hole--I even manually moved it but got no response from the kicker (again dont know the terms here). I could hit score areas with my finger (while the ball was in the hole) and all the scoring areas seemed to keep working......Any thoughts?? Coil for the ball ejector kicker maybe?? How many volts do these carry? Could I test the coil with a voltmeter???
