I'm having an issue tracking down a phantom 1000 point scoring issue on my game... after startup, game scores 1000 points at every motor cycle attributed to score motor 8B... have spent several hours trying to pinpoint key points on that circuit to the 1000 point relay and everything is coming up empty...

another oddity is that the schematic shows three switches on the #8 switch stack (8A, 8B, 8C)... my game only has two - 8A and 8B...

Can someone check to see if they there are indeed three levels on their MH EM at position 8?

Don,
Just a total shot in the dark, but check the runout and zero position switches on the thousands reel, and the ninth position switch on the hundreds reel. What the heck.

Should have asked if it's happening on all four players. If so, nix my suggestion above.

Hey Don.

There are 5 switches on #8. the 2 upper ones are m/b. Let me know if you need something else.

Thanks for the quick input guys... through a bevy of photos... confirmed what EM pin man so eloquently posted by showing photos on his game...

Somehow, I had switched the 8 and 9 position switches somewhere along the line... problem friggin solved!!! Should have posted this earlier... now onto easier stuff... looking good for tomorrow... gonna be a close one.

Again, thanks EM PIN MAN!!!
