Setting a Gottlieb EM to free play
Steps
- Turn the credit wheel to zero credits.
- On the credit stepper the notched wheel's pin opens two switches at zero.
- Set only the smaller-contact switch, the one nearest the backglass, permanently closed (or jumper it).
- Leave the larger-contact switch beside it working normally (open at zero), and don't touch the maximum-credit switch worked by the slotted-head pin.
- On Gottlieb's half-moon credit unit, only the zero switch nearest the increment coil needs to be held closed.
