    Hi. I'm working on a Bally Space Time. The problem is when I hit
    the outhole, saucers or the collect tunnel it makes the score motor run but does not score or kick the balls out. When I start a game it won't kick the ball into the shooter lane. If I hold in the relays it seems like there is a second pulse that will make it work properly. It seems like there should be something in common with them all but I can't find it. Anyone left out there that can help me I would appreciate it. I hate to see RGP fading away and a place to buy drugs.
    I have enjoyed this group for a long time.
    Thanks

    Do you have the schematics?

    I gave a short presentation on reading schematics 101 that may help:

    We carry schematics as does The Pinball Resource...(but we post here and appreciate the support)

    Check, clean, and adjust the following switches.
    N.C. switch on GAME OVER relay with black and yellow-black wires.
    N.C. switch on RESET relay with yellow-black and red-white wires.

    Those two switches are in series with coils for several of the things
    you mentioned.

    Which relay(s) are you holding in to enable the ball to be put into play?
