Hi to all!

On a Space Mission, player one, ten-thousandth score reel.

During game play the reel moves and scores fine through all the numbers, but -sometimes- starting a new game the reel will sometimes make it back to zero, when it cannot reach zero, I have to manually rotate it back to zero (while switches and relays are working) once it reach zero, relays and switches stop and game is ready to play.

I have remove the reel and it moves freely when I push the coil manually, it travels through all the numbers fine. Does it means that the coil is weak? Solder points on the switch looks fine.

Any idea on what to look for?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks... are you saying that this "reset" should be open from 1 - 9 and close on zero?

Thanks!

rofl,

The wheel doesn't wiggle.

Nope it happens from any number, randomly... I have noticed that when I reach 9 (by slowly turning the wheel from any number) I hear a click and the wheel will automatically turn from 9 to zero by itself and the game will be ready to be played.

Hi Rofl,

Thank you very much for your diagram, wiring and electrical seems fine but I did notice something, on one of my several attempts of figuring out what is wrong while the relay was working trying to put back the wheel back to zero, I manually pull a bit out the plunger from the coil and boom! it went back to zero, stepping up all numbers until zero was reached; thinking that it was something unique, I did the same over and over and it worked everytime.

So, the problems seem to be that the plunger is not pulling out enough to make the whole wheel spin (maybe?), but if I manually pull the plunger, just a bit, the coil starts to pull/push fine. What do you think will be, the coil it self is becoming weaker?

Many thanks!
