Hi Guys, this is my first attempt at fixing an EM, and to top that off I don't have the schematic for it. You know, just to make things easy on myself. LOL
Here is my problem. when the game is turned on, all score reels go to zero.(4 player game). But when you try to start a game(1 player) the 1000 score reel locks on. I have disconnected the playfield and taken it out of the machine too rule out any of the 1000 point switches being made there.
It also appears that the 1000 point relay is set right in the back box so I don't think that's it.
Any info or help would be appreciated and awesome!
In the meantime, This machine is my cousin's machine and I'm trying to see if she has the schematics somewhere.
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks for the insight, I will check this out, probably tomorrow, I'm already beat for the day. LOL

So I fixed the 1000 point reel sticking, but now the pop bumper sticks, but not all the time. it can take 6 or 7 hits before it'll stick on. I replaced the score leaf switch which was broken. The pop bumper was sticking before this. checked the B switches, which seem ok. is there something else I need to check? This game is driving me nuts! I'll fix one thing, only to find another thing going wrong.

Thanks for the awesome explanation Rolf, I will check those once I get a chance. Thank you again.
