Seven Up / Set Up pinball rules and strategy

Spot numbers 1 through 6 with the upper targets, side targets, and rollovers. Completing the set scores 300 and raises the No. 7 target; hit the raised 7 for 500 and one Advance step. Repeat that controlled cycle toward Special. Treat A-B-C-D-E and the skier as a second route, and finish it only when a missing letter or the lit right-side Special is safely available.

The goal

Build the numbered set, collect the raised 7, and repeat while the center return stays controllable. Switch to the A-B-C-D-E skier route only when it is close to completion or its Special is already lit.

  1. Read the numbered lamps and spot the missing 1–6 switches without forcing a dangerous rebound.

  2. After all six are spotted, shoot the raised No. 7 target for 500 and one Advance step.

  3. Repeat the numbered-set-to-7 cycle only while the center feed and post setting remain controllable.

  4. Use A-B-C-D-E as the secondary route when the skier is already near the bottom.

  5. When the skier reaches the bottom, collect the lit right-side Special only on a safe feed.

Machine setup

  • Confirm this is replay-model Seven Up, Williams model 372. Do not transfer its replay awards to add-a-ball Set Up, model 373.
  • Check three- or five-ball play, liberal or conservative post positions, the three- or four-step No. 7 threshold, and whether Special awards a replay, points, or nothing.
  • Test every 1–6 switch and lamp, the 300-point completion relay, the raising No. 7 target and Advance unit, A-B-C-D-E, the skier unit, the right-side Special rollover, flippers, posts, and tilt response.
