Hey Goat Shed Guys and Spanky to. I like these low scoring EM type pinball games with the bells and the ching ching ching and the Nock of a free game when a quarter was all you needed to play.
the factory has that poor overworked match unit connected to both the 10 and 100 point relays, so to save wear and tear, I disconnected from the 10. You may probably already know, Steve Young of Pinball Resource has new nylon shafts and parts to rebuild these match units. To solve the loose butterfly problem, I used a tiny homemade chisel and carefully upset the center section lengthwise, to slightly expand it.. I built a jig to hold the chisel lined up with the butterfly, for a precise hit. You can tell I'm a machinist.
I have a Target Pool I restored from a junker. If should you be having startup and bank reset problems, ka chunk ka chunk ka chunk, there's a contact in the reset relay (D on the schematic) that gives trouble. You don't need it, just bypass it. It's the contact D in the armature switch / bank reset circuit. I guess this was a factory oversight, because this contact serves no purpose,.When the bank resets, it closes the reset relay. So there's no way, the relay can open the circuit ahead of bank setup.
That was a great video. On a great game. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Bob.
Thanks Bob glad you enjoyed it.
Looking good, lots of great stuff as usual guys. Thanks.👍
Thanks Chuck

Yes they certainly are a pain we bend the actual butterfly slightly seems to work must have done over 100 now.
Yes its good Steve has the parts.

Interesting I'll take a look thanks for that.
Hi Mates it's been a wile
Hi hope you are well ☺️
Could you please show the bell in the back box to see if there is a danger or just the metal arm thanks
There are 2 x 3 inch and 1 x 5 inch bell no clappers all plunger driven.
@goatshedempinballrepair8545 what strikes the bell just the metal arm or another part attached to the arm to really make it ring thanks
@patrickalford7986 all 3 bells are stuck by a plunger no mechanical parts
