Gottlieb Top Score game plays but doesn't score

Hi everyone. I have a Top Score that will not score any points. I have replaced 2 separate switches that were broke, they were on 2 separate score reels & were the eos switches. I've also cleaned up one of the metal arms on the player unit that was gummed up, without disassembling it. That seems to function smoothly now.
So anyways, I was able to get the score reels to move once, during startup, but they won't reset to zero. I can play a game, it just won't score any points, at all! Even if I put the reels to zero manually. And it won't end a game.
I guess my question and/or confusion is, where do I start, to solve these issues? Obviously I'm a bit new to the em world. I have schematics as well. Thanks is advance for any help. I will have a go at it again tomorrow.

You picked a good one to start with.
The player unit needs to be gone through. and the coin unit, they work together.
also, you may have some relays labeled AA,BB,CC etc, they select the player up.
There are 2? reset relays that need to be workin correctly, and all the score reels.
and I think, a couple score motor switches.
there will be score number relays too, one for each digit.
when thats all done, the game will be able to reset and score.
after that, you will need to look at the game over, tilt, and start relays.
all this is a guess, an educated guess, but a guess none the less.
