I have a FunLand wedge head that scores incorrectly for the 1s, 10s, and 100s and then locks up when the 1000s reel attempts to turn over to 1.

No matter what switch I hit in the game the 1s, 10s and 100s score reels move in sync. Basically it scores 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, 999 and then locks up when the 1000 digit wants to turn over to 1.

I don’t have schematics or the manual. And quite honestly I’m not great at reading schematics in these old EMs.

Any ideas where to start looking for troubleshooting this issue?

Thanks.

A little backstory on this. I bought it from my buddy that had 2 complete games. One worked, one didn’t. He swapped heads, no change to the working game. Then he swapped playfields and the working game suddenly didn’t work anymore. So, the problem lies somewhere on the playfield.

After a lot of troubleshooting today, I’ve found that if I unplug the “Spin Score Control Relay” unit, the game plays normally. But obviously doesn’t add any score from spinning the spinners.

I then took it apart to inspect and found that one of the boards has been cracked in half and repaired. The weird thing is, this is a very simple board and I can visibly see that none of the traces are crossed, yet when I do a continuity check everything seems to be connected. I guess I’m going to order a new board from Marco and see if the issue goes away but it bugs me that this simple board repair looks like it should be fine to me.

That would be too easy! Haha. Unfortunately he already sold the working one.

To wrap up this post, I replaced the damaged spin score board and the game plays great now.
