This will help you clean and adjust the score wheel unit.

Check your switches on the ten point relay and the EOS switch.

Does it move well on reset?

it does not move well upon reset

and when i tried to mess with the wheel switch i messed up the entire scoring lol and now i should most likely call a pro......but i havent lost hope! i have an electrician pal who is willing to take a look if he knows WHERE the issue may be,.......but part of the EM journey is fixing......and iwant in on this journey....

Cdemuro ty ty ty i will try this tomorrow, cheers! ^_^

You might have a gunked up plunger on the score reel, or it could be that the switches are out of adjustment and placing a lot of pressure on the wireform that rides on the reel itself. Could be ten point relay switches. Lots of things to check.

You're about to learn the joys of working on a decagon reel. God rest your soul...
