I'm an old old hand at fixing EMs but I've had this Poker Face for years (did the usual CL&A) and have never been able to figure this out and the schems for the card combinations are making my brain hurt.

Problem: When a Straight or Full House are set via plugs to '2 replays' and are won (last ball), but the credit unit is already maxed at 26 or maxes out before the second replay is to be added, the 'D' relay (add 2 credits relay) keeps clicking back on & motor keeps running. F relay in bank does not activate. I can stop the motor run by either releasing 'F' relay -OR- decrementing the credit unit which allows it to award the won credit(s), stops the motor, D&F work correctly. Checking manually, the #26 switch must be closed AND credit advance EOS must open before D and F finally do as they should, not one or the other.

4 of a kind (2 replays) works fine with same credit unit situation - awards however many credits of the two that can be added, but no motor run. Same with 5 of a kind (5 replays) if won after that, no problems either with run-on. If straight or full house are set to one replay, it will award credit(s) available on the credit unit, no run-on.

If I clip #26 permanently closed, all combos are ok credits-wise, F activates, motor stops... but then I get the extraneous credit advance attempts and false knocks after it's maxed. FH & Straight are different than the other combos when set to 2 replays as they are awarded on an extra motor run sequence AFTER the last hole points score. All other card awards are given during the final card hole score motor run. Even from the schems I can't see how F can ever activate if #26 switch is open, which is what seems to be happening so I am stumped. I can't even figure out what position the schems show the adjustment plugs at, 1 or 2 replays. I slid the Motor 1A switch up on the schems to make it a little clearer. D and F adjusted/cleaned.

Any suggestions?
Thanks! Mark
