i picked up a project EM Grand Prix a couple weeks back. Owning/working on EM's are new to me but I'd like to get better at working on them.
I pulled the playfield out of the game and have been working on getting the score reels working correctly. If you start a game all of the reels reset except for the 100K reel (for all players) which doesn't reset. If you set the individual 100K reels to "0" it allows you to start a game.-otherwise the motor continues to run until you shut the game off. It either can't find the reel position or maybe the coil is bad?
The 10 pt and 100 pt reels seem to operate correctly for all players but when you manually forward the 1000pt scoring relay it kind of machine guns through it and locks on the 10K reel. I checked the switch blade positions and the wires on all of the score relays and they all seem to be adjusted correctly. Wires seem to be solidly connected and nothing appears to be shorting/touching that I can see.
For the 100K score reels it has two switches. Is the top supposed to be closed and the bottom open for positions 1-8, both closed for position 9 and both open for 0?
I've attached a quick vid of what is going on. If anyone has any suggestions on what to try next I'd appreciate the help! thank you.
