I'll invade this post with one question regarding the score reels. You normally cannot move a reel forward or backward. I have seen a couple Gottliebs that will have one or two of them that move freely one place . What can be the cause. Broken gear?
Quoted from jrpinball:There's a small leaf spring that's supposed to engage with small anti-reversing sprags which are molded into the reel. Often, the spring is either deformed or misadjusted so that it doesn't engage the sprags properly. When it's correct, the reel should not move backward even slightly.
Thanks JR I wll check those.
