Mustang
Gottlieb, 1977Hi,
My machine was working great up until the other day when I turned it on and the score motor just kept spinning. I noticed that the S relay continually clicks as well. I am hoping that it is a simple adjustment as my daughter is having friends over today and I wanted to have the old gal up and running. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick
Check out Clay's famous guide for info: http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index1
The score motor typically continues to spin because one of the switch contacts that feeds it power is remaining closed when it should have opened. Your game's schematic will show all of the circuits (and switches) that feed power to it. This very often occurs with a score reel contact that should be open after the reset is complete, but doesn't due to misadjustment. I'd suggest checking these first.
