I am 100% new to the world of EM, but picked up an Aladdin's Castle in pretty great shape recently.
However, it has a reset issue. If I *force* it to reset the game plays great and doesn't appear to have any other major issues outside of some dim bulbs.

When I coin up and press the start button the first player score resets, the second resets all but the 10 digit reel, which continues to spin.
The score motor continues to turn. I didn't not see any relays or steppers moving, but I may have missed them. The reset stepper seems to move intermittently I can not quite figure out a pattern.

I'm not 100% sure what I am looking for, but any help would be appreciated!

How are you forcing it to reset? Sounds like there is an issue with that one score reel not resetting.

Sounds like the '0' pos. sw. on the 10s reel. Read up here: http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index2.htm#reels
