Those CC games use a circuit board on each score reel. The "score reset" (all reels at zero) is a series loop through all the reels. Every reel has to close the connection between two wires or the score motor keeps running to pulse the reels. The wires get to the circuit board via an edge card connector. On my game every one of those connectors was split. So the wires don't get to the circuit board because there's no tension to hold them to the board. Score motor will run forever.
