1973 Gottlieb's "High Hand". Not working

[knagl]

When it happens, try to see which score reel is getting advanced (1's, 10s, or hundreds) and then take a real close look at all of the switches that can score the amount that is being scored to see if any are too close together and could potentially be the problem.

These banks are individually fused.
check the fuses for each bank. If there's
two coils per bank, there's two fuses
per bank.

if that's not the problem (usually isn't),
then it's a score motor switch problem.
The blades on the motor with BIG
contacts are the ones that control
the bank resets. probably gapped too
far apart or dirty.

Hey,
New member here. 
I just returned from a repair call, High Hand.
Owned one before also.
ANYway, It really sounds like (cliche) "just a fuse".
Really test them with a meter.  Then the holders.
Do not jump.

We appreciate your suggestion, but he found the solution about a year ago. Randy0777 narrowed down his problem and you can read that in reply #68, and barrynarron figured out his problem in the post right above yours, and hasn't been back since.

Enjoy the forum.
