I have a '66 Bally Bazaar. It's been in storage for a few years, but I'm settled into a new house and want to set it up here.
When last played (5 years ago) the score (hundreds column) wouldn't stop rolling around, over and over. I didn't want it to burn something up, so I pulled the plug on the machine. Didn't start again after that. I'm hoping it just blew a fuse. Any advice on where to start looking?
Other than the score thing the machine was playing great
Thanks
I've asked that your inquiry be moved to EM Tech, in hopes that you'll get some help.
In the meantime try looking at the Pinwiki: http://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=EM_Repair
Obviously, check your fuses. Also look for switches that may be stuck closed or shorted, especially around the score motor. You should be able to rotate the score motor by hand and watch the switches.

Good advice.

Sorry to disagree, YeOldPinPlayer but novice EM repairers will cause more problems than they'll fix by a shotgun approach.

Does this happen during reset, or during game play too? If during game play, does the 100 Point relay activate over and over?
