El dorado score reel reset

Check the switches on the 100 score reel. Since the game is starting, the reset logic thinks the reel is at zero. There are 3 switches. One closes at zero and opens for non-zero. One closes for all non-zero values, and one closes only for the 9 value. In addition to the actual switch contacts, inspect the wires to make sure the terminals aren’t shorted.

Good luck. This is one of the classic problems to fix.

Re post 3 you said "I did check it out'. What does that mean? Did you go through each of your score reel switches to validate they are tightened, cleaned and gapped in accord with the excellent narrative on pinrepair. It is difficult to provide further help unless you indicate precisely the problem and what you have done in relation to helpful posts.

The 100 reel only resetting when it's at '9' is likely because its center switch is over-gapped and is *only* closing at 9, instead of being closed all the way from 1 to 9. It should close at 1 thru 9 and be open at 0.

The 10 reel not rolling over score to the 100 reel is likely the top-most switch on 10 reel is not closing at 9 or the switch is dirty.

Labels on diagram are when each switch should be closed, otherwise should be open. When adjusting, adjust the shorter blades, not the longer ones that are pushed by the actuator arm. Also begin by first tightening the screws on these switch stacks as they dry out with age and can lose their tightness.
