Hello, I'm really glad to have found this forum! I have what I believe to be a 76 Royal Flush EM. I have owned it for years and let a friend use it for about a decade. It has been in an climate controlled environment but not played for eight years. I just got it back home this weekend and I am excited to restore it to it's former glory. It worked when I took it to my buddy's house but I guess the dormant years haven't been kind. I checked all of the fuses and cleaned all of the the buss plugs. When I switch it on it cycles back and forth from the score motor to the stepper in the back of the machine. Any pointers as to where to begin? I'll upload a video later today...

You're not sure? Did someone paint over the name?

No...lol. I was told when I bought it that is was from 1964. I see now that is from 1976.
The previous owner told me the serial number ended in 64 so that meant it was from then.
This was pre-internet.....

What stepper is it? and do the score reels reset?

The score reels are on zero. I don't see them trying to reset.

Will do, Howard.

Thank you dog!

Here is a video of it cycling...

All the shown solder joints are solid and showing continuity.

It looks like it is hanging on #5. This starts immediately when I hit power button on the underside of the machine.

They all seem to be moving freely.

I cleaned all the rivets with 1800 grit paper and the "points" also.

I will check that this evening Howard. I started verifying the relays last night. I need to buy a schematic to verify the readings on the coils...most were in the 15 range but a few were down around 4 ohms. The AX coils being one of those.
