Hello Guys,
First all I just joined this site to night so I just wanted to say hi .
I'm a antique radio and tv man but I dable in pinballs machines and Arcades once in while
I'm working on a 1948 Bally's Gold Cup this set is in great shape just needing a little tlc .
I have the Schematic that was a big plus.
Well it lights up but not much happens like when you hit ball into a hole.

Any idea's I have been just cleaniong contacts and relays also oiling and grease when needed I need to finish pulling the works in the draw out and put on the bench and go through it .


Any help is great.
Sincerely Richard
