When you manually activate the Start relay, are you feeling the coil being activated? Did you check to see if the coil is getting power?

I have a Ship Ahoy, I’ll check the schematic to see what controls the Start relay once I get home.

All scoring reels should be reset for the startup sequence to complete.

If you manually set the 100s feel to the 0 position and then push the Replay button, does the game complete the reset cycle?

In addition to the bad contact, Check what controls the “O” relay in the schematic. Maybe it’s one of those inputs that is missing.

Jumper around those switches one by one to see if you can isolate the problem.

etolisano for the scoring reel first check that the stack of three switches that get actuated by the reel changing numbers are all in the correct state. The tens, hundreds, and thousands switch stacks should all be the same and change states the same way. There should be three states, one for when the scoring reel is set to "0", one for when the scoring reel is set to "1-8", and the last one for when the scoring reel is set to "9". From what you are explaining, the "1-8" setting must be in the incorrect state. There could also be a loose wire.

The stack of switches sits just behind the scoring reel. Best way to check the operation of each stack is by pulling the scoring reel off it's mounting bracket.
