Hi all! first thanks for taking the time to help. I recently acquired a Surfer EM machine and would love to get it playable again. Me and my fellow firefighters have been watching videos and reading as much as we can to try and get this game up and running at the station. The game upon startup will flash game over and the motor below the play field spins contentiously. The coin mech has been removed and pushing the new game button does not always work. If we manual trip the start new game relay the score motors reset to zero and the ax relay continuously tries to trip? I have a great video of the situation but the this site will not allow me to post links yet. We have gently been cleaning contacts and occasionally the game will fully power up. When this happens the bumpers and flippers work most the lights come on and the 500 reel continually scores along with the chimes. I'm sure there are some contacts in the play field that are sticking but i also believe there may be some problems in the AX relay. Some of the blades look like they have been messed with. We have them correct now "i believe" and contacts are opening/ closing right. i have the schematics on the game but i'm not very versed in deciphering them LOL! Any help would be much appreciated.
