I have a 1973 Gottlieb big brave which has developed starting issues. In addition the 10000 score wheel for one of the players does not count but this has been ongoing for some time. After sitting for some time during renovations now the reset function resets the scores etc., but continues to cycle and wont stop until I turn it off. This is the first time I have had a problem with this game and I have very little experience with this kind of problem. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

If the motor keeps running, which of these switches/relays is stuck closed?

I am having difficulty in determining which relay is associated with which switch and where it would be located. As far as I can tell the motor switches all seem to be functioning as they should. This is the first time I have tried to work on this machine so it is all a mystery to me. Very steep learning curve. Thanks for your assistance. Tedi

Can you find out how far it's getting in the reset sequence?

@Tedconey, based on the schematic snippet, if you can find each of those relays listed by Howard, you're looking for the switch on each with the slate+red wire coming off of it. That would be the switch you'd look for on each to see if it's stuck closed. One of them is causing the motor to keep running.

Thanks Howard and Goldenboy. I will attempt to follow your reset checklist and see how far it gets. It seems that most things reset except the 2nd player score doesn't and there seems to be issues with player 1 score but I will follow the list and see if I can get a more definitive answer. I will also follow up on tracing the relay wires to the switches to see if there is a problem with a specific switch. Thanks for your help. I will let you know how I make out in a couple of days.
