Quoted from e3thomas:

Also sometimes gives you 10 points on drain.

This is the first problem to address because if the 10 Point relay is constantly energized you'll burn out its coil.

Hi Ospdk, Welcome to pinside!

Quoted from Ospdk:

Is it a good idea to clean all contact with Grit 1000 sand paper

You may be able to get the game mostly working by fixing what's broken. Later when you have more experience you can go through all the contacts etc. Although your game looks like it may have suffered more abuse than most so it's really a judgement call.

Quoted from Ospdk:

when i hit the play button the score motor Inside the machine starts rotating and the two reset relays in the back flipping (image) and it just keep on turning

Every one of the 16 score drum units has (in addition to other switches) a switch that tells the reset circuit when it's found its way back to zero. One of them is most likely stuck closed.
