I'm sure I should be able to figure this one out but I can't seem to get it....

Just bought a non-working Gottlieb Playball. I got it to power up but upon start up the motor just keeps running and running. How do I get it to stop and and get a game started?

Coin switch was stuck. Thanks for the advice. Would never ever have thought to look there.

So now game plays but I have a new problem: Every ball that rolls over a "base hit" doesn't matter double, triple or homerun in the outlane draining the ball, it scores 5 runs. Baseball impossibilities aside, clearly the scoring is off. Thoughts?

Quoted from MarkG:

If the Hit Unit is stuck in the 3rd position you'd see 5 runs for each Home Run.

When it rolls over Out lane Homerun, or in play Triple (upper corners) or Double or Single. Doesn't matter. ever rollover scores 5 runs.

Still sound like the same problem? Same solution?
