My initial question is not necessarily a Magnotron specific question:
My Magnotron has been sitting in the basement covered for around 4 years, unplayed(big mistake). I monitor humidity, however my other game had contact issues after not being played.
Here it goes: when i turned it on and pushed the game start button, the scoring reels run constantly and won't stop and kick out a ball to start play.

Generally, where should I go 1st?...( I do have the schematic).

Can someone let me know how to move this post to it's intended subcategory.

EM TECH. I selected wrong category by mistake.

Are you saying that all 4 sets of score reels are constantly resetting or is it just the Player 1 score reels?

If it’s just Player 1 or even 2 sets and they’re not temporarily stopping at zero, then check the Zero position switch on all the reels involved and make sure they are clean and not stuck closed. Those zero switches need to open when the reels are at zero to stop the resetting.

Sea_wolf....to be clear. I turn the power on, all scores are at zero. The reels sound like they're trying to reset. They are already at zero. I will re post a similar question on em tech thread. I posted here inadvertently.
Thank you for any suggestions
