Quoted from Macca:The score motor and animation unit keeps running on power up.
Do the score reels reset?
Quoted from Macca:On the backglass a random number will show up for 0 - 9, this may be a match play number?
Likely.
IPDB does not have a schematic. Can you get yours scanned at Staples, saved as a PDF, and post when you get it?
Quoted from Macca:Also, is cam 1 closest or furthest from the unit?
It's usually going to be on the left as you look at it width-wise.
I'm going to have to puzzle this over more because I'm not that familiar with CC schematics, but are these sw. clean and properly gapped?
Capture (resized).PNGQuoted from Macca:I'm thinking about manually advancing the score motor and the animation motor unit to find zero position.
Can't hurt, but it seems that these two should do that.

Check out Clay's superb guide for the basics first: http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index1
Then check the switches on the circuits for cleanliness and solid contact.
Quoted from Macca:The pitching unit is still not energized.
Did you check the make/break on the pitch motor in the triangle, along with the other switches that lead into the pitch relay in this snippet? and did you check the switches in post 12? This will never work correctly if it's not resetting correctly.
Quoted from Macca:On some of the relays under the play field there's no identifying paper telling me which relay is which.
The coil # from the schematic will help you track them down.
Quoted from Macca:There are some coils with the same number
That's when you go to wire color, etc.
Quoted from Macca:It looks like the switches are ordered from top to bottom
A
B
C
D
Normally the lettering starts at the bottom.
Quoted from Macca:The “Game Over” relay is facing down
By this you mean that it is in the energized position? Are these relays doing what they're supposed to?
Capture (resized).pngQuoted from Macca:Is the game over relay and NOT the Score / Animation zero position motor my problem?
I don't think you've confirmed that all resets are happening. And that the circuits in post 12 are all good.
Quoted from Macca:Does this coil look fried?
A visual won't tell you anything. Get a multimeter on it.
Quoted from Macca:In Post 12, I see the player unit, then 4 drums (score reels, they do reset to 0)
Yes, in the top one, confirming that they reset to 0. The second is the circuit for the start relay, so if the game wasn't starting on its own, that was the circuit to check. Sorry, if I haven't been clear.
I've found the best way to work thru this kind of thing is to pick a problem and stay with it til it's fixed, then go to the next. So, back to post 1 the problem to start was that the score motor and animation kept running; is that totally solved? If not, start with that.
Another thing that's difficult is that I am not that familiar with Chicago Coin schematics and esp. not with pitch and bat games.
