• Gottlieb Flying circus electrical diagram

    From Passions multiples@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 26 07:18:26 2021
    Hello everybody and Merry Christmas from France !
    I'm looking for the electrical diagram of my pinball Gottlieb Flying Circus. I have already put the missing piece in the middle for the 5 balls minigame. I know that I have to put the five balls in the same side where the light is brighting, but there is
    an electric coil with two rods underneath which is supposed to catch balls from time to time and it's always in low position. If someone can explain me or give me the electrical diagram, I'll be the happiest man of the world (lol) !
    Thanxxxxx guys for your answers !

    I have an old copy of the schematic, but it isn't legible. Do you have a scan of the circuit that controls that coil that you could post somewhere or e-mail to me?

    There is a "Captive Ball Check" coil on the schematic with a black wire
    on one solder lug and a mottled red-white wire on the other solder lug. According to the schematic this coil is always on while the game is
    being played. It shuts off (along with the flippers, scoring, etc.) at
    the end of the game, after tilt, etc. It is not controlled by any other
    game features.

    Hello Mark and thanks for your answer. Do you have the schematic and could you send me a picture of it ? I don't understand the function of this coil ! Should it be just when you lift up the playfield to prevent balls from unnecessarily pressing the dot
    connector at the top of the minigame ? Or is there a fucntion when you are playing ?

    The schematic doesn't describe how it's used, just when it operates.
    I've never seen the game so I don't know how it's used. I'd suggest
    asking on Pinside, facebook or contacting one of the owners at pinballowners.com (which includes several owners in France).
