Hi. I'm new. I have a 1967 Base Hit machine. It was working perfectly when I got it. 2 weeks later the 0 - 9 score reel started sticking. It resets. I cleaned it and put it back together properly. When the reel needs to advance to show the first point scored the coil energizes but won't advance the score. When I turn it off, it advances the scored point. I have missed something or the problem is not where I think it is. I'm having trouble finding a forum post with a similar issue with a similar game. Perhaps I need to look further, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask for assistance.Thanks for your time. Have a nice day.

Correct. The coil is not energized at startup. Only when a run is scored. I'll bust out the test lights and check everything in the circuit beginning with the run relay tomorrow. Thanks again. I appreciate it.

I did not have much time today for Base Hit. I decided to run an experiment before anything else to see if the 2nd player score reel was exhibiting the same problem. It was. But it's not what I thought. The score reels turn after a moment or two. I did not want to inadvertently damage anything by leaving the coil energized after a score, so when the reel didn't turn right away after a run, I decided to power down. As I was reaching for the off switch, the reel turned. I did this a few times for both players and it needs a second or two to turn the reel. When you score two runs only one point is scored. That wasn't right, so I powered down. When I powered up again the unscored point registers, the bell rings, the reel advances, and gameplay starts up. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks. I'll be checking things out after Christmas.
