Once start is pressed, 100 point reel (player 1) continues to run and coin guide continuously actuates. Any of the top six rollovers light the corresponding "red die" but the light goes out a second later.

Background: Machine recently obtained in neglected condition. All issues were minor and fixed except for the center bumper post which was hacked and disconnected. Except for the bumper post, I got the machine working 100%.

Playfield was stripped and cleaned, flippers rebuilt and new rubbers installed. Once reassembly complete, the coil for the 100 score reel (player 1) worked intermittently and its' coil buzzed and seemed locked on. Found there was no sleeve in the coil and installed new sleeve. The reel now actuates properly and the coil no longer buzzes, however am having the issues described above. I checked all playfield switches and all seem to be functioning properly.

What was the fix?

Playfield switch closed when should be open.

Don't know how I missed it, the playfield switches were the first thing I checked...twice.

Just need to fix the bumper post and dimpled inserts now. Whoo-hoo this is a GREAT pin!
