In my Gottlieb 1976 Volley, it seems the AX coil relay doesn't want to reset the score reels such as the 10,000, 1000 or 100. Any ideas? Thanks

Welcome to Pinside!
With credits on the machine, you press the replay button and...
does the motor run?
are the score reels turning? Any, all?
... so two of the reels spin continuously and two stop at zero?
It's too early to tell what the issue is, a detailed description of the problem will help us narrow it down
Hi again. When I turn the game on, with credits on the credit reel, the higher points reels won't reset to zero. Could it be the AX relay. When I engage it with my finger it will restet the reels to zero. Then the score motor unit in the back box stops spinning.
Here's a good video from Clay's site that shows how to check and adjust the AX relay. The single player adjustment section of the video is around 3:00.

The AX switches for resetting the higher score reels (1,000 and 10,000 as examples) are highlighted below in the schematic.

From the other thread (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ball-won-t-eject-on-my-volley#post-5511930):
====
From a few of your statements above (motor turns briefly, score wheels reset when AX is activated by hand), sounds like the Start (S) Relay is not triggering AX.
When you press the start button, do AX and JX activate?
====
The S relay should only stay active for a cycle... after that AX should keep the motor going.
OK, sorry, the reset sequence wording is slightly confusing - "JX reset" fires, not JX. That clears the 100,000 relay.
Sounds like AX needs some love - check out the video mentioned above and then clean/adjust the AX switches.
