    Anyone out there know these machines ? Mine works fine for 10 shots, then the left side flag raises as it should and the black light comes on. ( #2 right side flag has never worked much ) After about 2 flag trips up and down the the score reel just takes off on its own. It seems a relay in energized and lets the reel keep spinning? Once you take a shot it stops for a second then takes off rolling again. I've pulled the score reel asm. and cleaned it well. Also I cleaned all plugs and switch / relay contacts.
    Any help or tips on what to try next would be great.
    Thanks in advance

    never played with a gun game tho i want one bad. I would check the score reel switches for a start. Make sue theyre gapped right and the EOS is correct

    Will do, There is one part of the game in the lower section I have yet to look into as far as deep cleaning and I'll do that this eve. It spins a large target wheel 100% of the time & 360 deg when the game is running. My thought is its full of switches. If I still have issues I'll snap some photos.
    Thanks
