This is a 4 player game. Player #1 over scores on the 10,000 score reel.

I had this exact same problem recently on player #3. On that one, I noticed the 1000 reel was sticking as the #9 came around. I adjusted the reel and it has worked fine since.

No such luck on player #1. I have done the same thing, and more. But, it still runs up the score as the 1000 wheel comes up to zero, the 10,000 reel over scores. So now I am trying to figure out if it could be an electrical problem, as opposed to a mechanical problem like the #3 player used to be?
I don't see what that could be just looking at the schematic.

It might be that the 9 position switch, which forwards the pulse from the 1k to the 10k score reel, doesn't have enough tension when closed. If it bounces instead of staying firmly closed it might break the pulse into several shorter pulses.

Mark,
Thanks for the tip. It seemed logical, I just never ran across that before.
I fooled around with the gap and tension on that for a while, and it appears I got it where it needs to be.

Thanks again,
Walt
