Here are the score reel switch positions for the reels on "300" and Top Score:

____________Zero____1 - 8________9
Outside:_____open____open_____closed - 9th position switch
Middle:_____ open____closed____closed - Runout switch
Inside:______closed___open______open - Reset switch (closest to score reel frame)

On 1)... if you short one of the 9th position switches closed with a jumper on the switch solder tabs, does the carry work?

On 2)... do the 2nd player reels move at all during reset?

Quoted from Redcloud:

Thanks for the reply DaMoib!
I will try jumping/shorting the ninth position switches, tomorrow.
On the 2nd player reels, only half of them will reset,….I think it was the 100s and the 10,000s that will reset but the other two will not.
I actually have the “300” and the Top Score but for the life of me I can’t spot any difference when I compare the score reel switches!

Just try shorting one of the 9th pos switches, say... the 10's reel. Does the 100's reel increment each time the 10's reel increments?

On the P2 reels, you're saying the bad reels, when non-zero, do not move at all during reset... yet, when the good P2 reels reach zero, the machine thinks the reset is complete and the game plays normally?
