Quoted from JasonE:First let me say I'm not much of an EM guy. I usually stick to solid state machines, and even do my own board work.
I've got a Gottlieb Super Soccer here that doesn't reset the score reels correctly. It does go into game play now that I fixed stepper mechanism in the back box. The switches appear to be working correctly on the reels, but they don't reset to 0 on startup. Sometimes it will try to reset player 3/4 and move them a few turns, but rarely successfully. Being a Gottlieb, I haven't found a schematic available online either to help.
Any suggestions would be appreciated to save me time on this one.
Likely typical maladjusted 0 position switches. Just clean and adjust, so that zero position is closed when on zero.
Sand paper, 400-600 grit, or emery board, or even an old school card stock business card. There is plenty
of this on CH's site, and on the web. USENET has a ton about this on the RGP group.
Definitely a fun game with the end of bonus ball feature, as well as collect bonus in play. Not a great game,
but a solid good game with backglass animation, lame artwork, and a good playfield layout with twin spinners.
Over all a 7.3-7.5 in my book, and good enough to get 200-300 when whoomped up and sold to unsuspecting noobs.
I'm a proponent of breaking down the entire game upon receiving it, cleaning and adjusting everything
and moving forward to fixing issues if I missed them. However as a noob, that is not advised by many. I disagree.
You will learn much more by taking the ENTIRE game apart, documenting, and then putting it back together.
This is also true in life itself. I hope that helps. Nice game/title/make/model/play.
