[Jukebox-list] Rockola 1438 - LAST PROBLEM?

[wbabbott at cox.net]

I think I may have found the problem. There is no continuity from the #2 push button prong at the Jones plug to the #2 connection at the pinbank.

And so on down each leg. I've done this and it appears that I lose continuity on the 3rd leg down on 3rd Bank.

Of course it happens on all four selections that match the #2 selection on the four sided selection drum. All other push button keys work and make selections, BUT, only #1 pushbutton works AND removes a credit in the accumulator. All higher buttons including the non-working #2 button fail to remove a credit from the accumulator. I figured I might have a problem with the #2 pushbutton switch. So, with much consternation and frustration, I figured out how to remove the push button switch bank (not an easy task). I examined the #2 button and switch, but I don't see anything out of place. The #2 and all other buttons properly operate the sliders and return to there proper position.
