Hi all
my issue is:
When I want to start a new game, the 10digit reel for Player 1 does not reset to 0.
The issue started slowly. It looked like it was sticking and turned over slowly, but over time got worse. Now, it does not move at all.
Because of this the motor keeps running and the game won't start. If I reset the reel to 0 manually, I can start a game for 1 or 2 players. It plays fine, all numbers including the 10 digit reel work absolutely fine during the game and score without a hick up. When the game is over and we press the start button to reset it, the 10digit reel (Player 1) won't reset to start a game again (all others work fine).
I checked the reel, compared every detail to the working ones, took it apart and cleaned connectors. I checked as many wires as I could see. I read through forums and repair guides and checked what was mentioned in there, but cannot find the answer to this problem.
I haven't got the schematics and won't be able to get hold of them for while, because I am based in NZ. Unless someone can share theirs digitally with me.
Any help would be great. I signed up for the EMpinball repair clinic, but have friends over this weekend and am hoping to get it going before the clinic on Sun (NZ time).
Cheers.
Markus
