There's a video of a resetting Royal Flush Player Unit that might help at:

Are you saying the machine always start a 2 player game or it starts on player 2?

Let me know if this works.

So when you start a game you end up with a 2 player game. All the lights, scoring, etc. work as if it's a two player game?
Can you coin up a 3 or 4 player game?

I'd look at your Coin Unit. It may not reset all the way to the reset or 1 player game position.

The game starting with 2 players is a mechanical problem with the Coin unit stepper.
The reason for needing a picture of the Player unit is that the Player up lights don't work so likely the Player unit wiper is out of alignment.

Hi Frank,

I decided to answer this post instead of your new post, since there’s background here.

I’d look at the “2 player” issue first. The schematic shows, at location 20E, that the coin unit step up happens through a switch on the S relay, score motor switch 1D, and a switch on the U relay.

The way this is supposed to work is that the count unit only adds one player if you press the replay button after the reset sequence has completed for player 1.

I’d check the S and U relay switches to make sure they aren’t closed when they’re not supposed to be (and the solder tabs aren’t touching where the wires are connected). It should be pretty obvious since this happens every time you start a game.

The S switch has a red-white wire and a Green-yellow wire.
The U switch has a blue-orange and an orange+blue wire. It’s a make-break switch, so check that in each position, one switch is open and the other is closed. Sometime you find that both are closed or both end up open, and that causes a problem.

Good luck,
Dave
