Got this machine going after a lot of cleaning and replacing a couple of burnt relays. My problem now is 4th player score reel is adding 1000's when it should only be adding 100's. Both reels move simultaneously. Any thoughts on what to check from here?
Thanks

I haven't worked on many Gottliebs so check all this against reality, but the basic sequence is switch>score relay>score reel.

Is this with all 100 pt switches or just one switch? Are your score relays clean and adjusted?

Do you have a score multiplier of some kind that could be stuck?

Check the '9' position switch on your 100's reel. Probably too close. Check switches to make sure clean and adjusted properly. If having to adjust, tighten the switch stack screws 1st tightening the one screw closest to the blades first. Good luck.

p.s. also check your score reel EOS switches and make sure they are clean and operating properly.

I checked the 9 position switch on the 100's reel and it was contacted even when it was not in the 9 position. A little adjustment and now it works! Thank you for the help! A few more adjustments here and there and this machine will be in nice working order.
