Hi

I have this old Straight Flush EM pinball who use to work perfectly but since I manipulated the head to do some painting I have a score reel issue. When I press the start button, the reset sequence goes all fine and all the score reels goes to 0 but right after this, I have a score reel which try's to turn to 1 creating a heavy electrical noise. When I turn off the game, the reel goes to 1.

Any hint about how to fix that ?

Thanks

Determine which value it is, 10s, 100s, etc. see if a switch of that value is stuck closed on the playfield. Also check the end of stroke switch on the score reel.

Actually I dismantled the score reel and observed that the issue start from the coil which doesn't release the EOS switch after the game reset. So the EOS switch remains open. It's the 100 reel.

Any other hints?

Thanks a lot

Update: while the EOS switch was buzzing for not closing, I tested switches on the playfield. There is 2 targets and 2 rollovers on the playfield for which their role is to make a plastic arrow turn in the middle of the playfield. None of these 4 switches activated the arrow.
