So i recently acquired my first EM and i need some assistance. While I'm waiting on my manual to come in the mail I thought I would ask Pinside for some help. So here are the first of most likely many issues with the game, When you put two quarters in the machine, the game starts immediately and the start button doesn't seem to start the game. Instead the ball is kicked into the shooter lane. The next big thing is the Score doesn't reset. Final issue i have found is that once and awhile when you start the game the discs inside the game just keep spinning and spinning until you put a quarter into it. I will post photos as I go along this adventure, I appreciate all help with this.

so once you plunge the ball the game operates as it should, then it drains and operates like a normal game. But, I'm now I'm noticing that the game isn't recognizing how many balls you have had as you can just keep playing over and over again. Also, when you press start nothing happens at all, just adding quarters starts the game.

Thanks everyone for the help thus far! My plan for tonight is to look into the stepper unit and the ball count unit. I've been watching some videos today at work that address these. I'll report back with my progress.
