This subject came up in another post and referenced this one. Any update, sounds like you were getting close.

How does it read the reels?

Quoted from CactusJack:

From earlier in the thread:
The score reels are read optically - I briefly considered just counting the AC pulses sent to the reels, but we all know these reels don't necessarily always show the number of pulses sent to them, and it was more important to me that the lcd show the actual score according to the reels, not what the score *should* be.

Yea, I saw that, but how? there's nothing on the score reel to read optically. Is he doing character recognition? are there marks on the inside of the reel to read? As far as I know, the only number mechanically identified on the reels are '0'.
