Dealers Choice Issues......Fixed!
I'm about ready to make this one a parts machine. Got this machine for my brother and trying to help him get it fixed. I have spent hours on this issue. I can get it to reset, although sometimes it will reset to game over, but normally if I hit the start button again it will do a full reset and put the ball into play.
If I try to play a 1 player game it will continue on through the different players. Can't get it to stay on player 1. One thing I have learned/noticed is that if I only hit a 10 point switch (whether it scores 50 pts or just 10) it will stay on player 1 as it should. If however I hit other switches (100 or 1000 point switches) it advances to the next player. It will do this until it gets to player 4 then it will stay on player 4. UNLESS, I just hit a 10 point switch then it will reset back to player 1 or game over if on the 5th ball. I have tried to trace the schematic several time and have cleaned and adjusted the reset relay, outhole relay, I checked the eos switch on the ball count unit. I have also cleaned and double checked the coin unit, ball count unit, and the player unit. I just keep going in circles.
I can't see in the schematic what the 100 point and the 1000 point relays have in common with making the machine advance to the next player. I'm to the point now of adjusting things and creating bigger issues that I have to go back and resolve.
Another thing I have noticed is that when the game does not do a full reset the ball count unit is not resetting for some reason. Again, if I hit the start button again it will generally go ahead and reset at which time the ball count strongly resets.
Sorry for so much print.....really getting tired and frustrated with this one. I have searched the previous posts several times and nothing seems to match this problem.
