00-90 relay is constantly pulled

After I start a new game on my Little Joe (Bally), alle reels are reset to zero. That's fine. The ball is served, so I can play.
But at that point my 00-90 stepper is producing a heavy humming sound and keeps being active. It is not released.
At the same point the 10-point reel of player #1 is slightly changing its position between 0 an 1.
When I switch off the pinball, the reel jumps to 1 (it seems 1 ten point score is made).
During the active period of the 00-90 stepper, I cannot score 10 points at the playfield.
I've tried manualy but no 10 points can be made, other scores are working.
Any ideas?

I would start by going through the reels and cleaning them, adjusting/cleaning zero / 9 positions switches as necessary - then see where that gets you.

If i have a few I will try and take a look at the schematic.

I looked at the schematic and what I said still holds.

Have you checked for a stuck 10 pt switch somewhere? I'm not very familiar with the game on what scores 10 pts, but that's my bet - you're 10 pt relay is being energized.

Most likely the 10 Point relay is holding energized at the same time. If it only does it for first player then the end-of-stroke switch on the first player 10 point reel is most likely out of adjustment.

Robotoes and HowardR , thank you for your fast reply. I will follow your advice first thing in the morning!
I will let you know if I'm making progress.

Goodmorning Robotoes and @howardr, thank you both for your input.
The problem is solved! A stuck 10 pointer switch on the playfield caused the issue.
The two leaves of the switch stick together, due to a cleaning session of the playfield.
It's nice to hear a quiet pinball after a restart and the sound of a served ball in the lane, waiting to play...
Thank you guys, have a nice weekend!

Excellent! Please check as resolved.
