If you haven't already done so, remove the bank reset fuse, and clean the ends of the fuse and the fuse holder clips. I had someone once bring me a game which wouldn't start, and that''s all it was.
Yours might be making intermittent contact.
For sure all the steppers and score reels need to be individually torn down, cleaned, repaired if necessary, and reassembled.
I'm saying you use the brake cleaner just to degunk the motor board if it's really greasy dirty.
Always relubricate the motor and other moving metal parts afterwards.
Looks like you have a good amount of rust going on there too. You should order new springs for all the steppers from PBR. Everything else should get an EvapoRust bath.
Quoted from FatPanda:Worked out the pop bumpers, so pretty much have most things working now. Rollover switches sometimes get stuck closed, and the 10 pt relay locking on is intermittent during play; probably vibrations and what not making switches stick? At this point, it's working well enough to order parts and start rebuilding things. Hopefully through that, the switch issues go away.
Also, anybody know what this is? This is from the chime unit in the cabinet. The knocker right next to it was the same. It looks like someone took a lighter to the rubber grommet that used to be there and melted to the point where when it cooled, it fused the plunger so the knocker and chime wouldn't ring. Also had the wires for the chimes detached from the relay lug, so it seems pretty intentional. The Jones plug for the knocker and chime was literally right there too. Could've spent the 2 seconds to unplug it.

That's just freakin' incredible! I've never seen anything that bad in a game, and that's sayin' a lot!
