I'm going to defy my common sense and get my Bluenote ready for Ottawa this weekend. Right now the biggest issue I'm having is once you get a 'shoot again' the ball never advances again. It's 'shoot again' forever.......no extra balls and everything steps through like it should. I have schematics, but my buddy who reads them waaaaaaay better then I, is busy this week.
Can anyone give me a place to start? The FS relay doesn't work as the little plastic arm that turns the wheel is broken, but I think that is for the match......

Re: Need Help With My Bluenote
Or if any EM geniuses want to work on this Friday to have a nice rare game for the show, I'll be there bright and early Friday morning.

Re: Need Help With My Bluenote
Without the diagram, I would first check the contacts and their gapping on the following relays:
- Extra Ball Relay
- 1st Ball Relay (U)
- through switch at ball exit from outhole
- interlock relays operation and contacts (AX, BX, etc.)
Good luck!

Re: Need Help With My Bluenote
So far the switches check out gapping wise........a question, what is this stuff someone has done to the extra ball relay?

Re: Need Help With My Bluenote
bring it to the show and be sure to bring schematics.
Worst case scenario we make it play extremely tough so no one gets the Shoot Again.

Re: Need Help With My Bluenote
also I would guess that Shoot Again is a self-latching relay that is supposed to be interrupted by a portion of the ball reset cycle, so that would make it easy enough to zero in.

Re: Need Help With My Bluenote
Turns out its the trough switch in the shooters lane.
