After the last ball is played the score motor cycles and does not stop.

Help appreciated!
Don

Just noticed the following
1. No match lights at end of game
2. No free game awarded no matter the score

Those were additional symptoms added to the score motor running after the 5th ball. All the labels have bit the dust. If the match is a 2 prong plug just behind the coin box next to a single prong plug that has 5 possibilities, then yes it is plugged in. I see no other options inside the box other than the 3 / 5 ball option. In the back I don't see anything related to the issues.

In a search on this forum someone else having a similar problem was told it would be a match relay or match circuit issue.
I have no understanding of what was shared in that post.
Can’t at the moment copy and paste it.
Out and about

I have been reading info at that sight. Presented in a clear way. Have not yet discovered the particular issue, but leaning towards cleaning contacts and checking for open/close positions.

Here is the post quoted from DirtFlapper a member whom has not been around for several years. Going to focus on gaining an understanding what he is saying and where the parts are.

"On this era of Gottlieb, Game Over is mostly controlled by the Match Relay. If the Match Relay doesn't activate, then it won't reach game over.

Specific to Cross Town though, Game Over ('X') is fed by two switches on the Match Relay ('O'), and switches at score motor 1A and 2C. If 'O' is activating, but 'X' is not, then those are the four places to check.

But if 'O' isn't activating, then need to look into that first. On Cross Town, 'O' is fed by either the 4th and 5th ball trough switches (5-ball play), or the 2nd and 3rd ball trough switches (3-ball play), plus a normally closed 'On Ball Release' switch and a switch at score motor 1C.

The switch at score motor 1C is common to lots of other things, so that's likely working if the rest of the game is working. The 'On Ball Release' switch is often a culprit, as it's in the switch stack there at the ball trough gate, and that switch stack frequently gets bent. The ball trough switches can oxidize and not make good contact too though.

However, since the ball trough gate isn't de-energizing, the Ball Release coil is activated via a switch on the 'Z' (Reset) relay, and then held active via a lock-in switch on the Ball Release switch stack and a normally closed switch on the 10pt relay ('N'). The ball trough gate will stay open and let you keep playing ball 1 until 10 points are scored. Then when the 'N' relay pulls in, that switch is supposed to open and deactivate the Ball Release coil, closing the gate.

So those might be some places to look."

I really appreciate all the help!

Given the labels are history, is there a way for me to figure out the relay locations? If its on the schematic, I have part of it and dig it out. If its on the reset bank, could some please tell me where I can find a picture of the relay type and location or some verbal direction would be awesome.

Worst case I clean each of them.

Thank you!

I have been figuring things out a bit at a time.

I am getting my number match lights and it works with the score - adding a free grame
High score gets a replay
Score motor stops at end of game

Only open item seems to be that when the game is over, while in fact it is, the game over light doesn't come on. No power to that socket.

All issues fixed!! There is a logical and rational approach to these EM machines. Got to love the engineering of it all.

Again, thanks for the help!

The match issue and continuous motor running after ball 5 was solved by cleaning and adjusting the match relay "O"
The game over was solved by cleaning and adjusting the game over "X" on the bank
The game over light was solved by cleaning the bulb sockets corrosion
