Hoping for some advise. Rescued a Bally circus from the trash recently . Got it home and turned it on. Lights didn't come on . Tapped the left flipper and they came on for a second .would stay on if I held them . 3rd player score reel wouldn't reset . When. It finally zeroed out , it would start cycling through again . Sounded like a motor was still running even when the reel was at zeros . Then it would start cycling through numbers again . I took a video of the switches in the back if it's possible to upload . Any ideas where I should start trouble shooting ?

No I don't have a schematic. In the process of getting one
.

The switch that possibly never opens that you mentioned , would it spark ? I noticed one that would spark

Quoted from HowardR:

The schematic would be helpful for this. Do you have one?

There's a switch on each score reel that opens when the score reel is at zero. Most likely that switch never opens or the connections to it are shorted.

The are a where I'm noticing the blue spark is marked 0 reset
