Ok so, im on my ( hopefully ) last issue with my Subway restore. In the video below you can see my issue. Here is a sequence of the issue that you can confirm in the video.

1) First time around the ones unit scores just fine

2) second time around it advances the Tens unit as it should

3) After the tens unit advances the ones unit will advance the tens unit starting on the number two and keep advancing them together until the 3rd time around

4) this process keeps repeating itself as you can see in the video.

Its interesting to note that it only happens on the number two and only every other time the score reel makes a complete revolution back to zero.

Some things I have checked are the 9th position switch on both the ones and tens reel, all the switches on both reels, and the M and N relay. This is something that has me stumped because its only on the number two that both reels will advance together and only every other time the ones reel makes a full revolution. How would it even know to do this for a EM game.. What do you guys think it could be.. ?

Do you have a schematic for the machine? I would first determine what circuit is sending the power to the 10 point score reel when the problem happens. You can do this by blocking switches in the related circuits, like the 9th position switch, the 1 point reel runout switch - there might be a S relay switch in the circuit that can blocked for testing. Check to see if there are any related switches that could send power to the 10 point score reel.

Usually, there are two primary circuits that can send power to the 10 point score reel. Also, check the circuit that has the 10 point relay and its related switches. Use a thick piece of paper or tape to block the related switches one at at time to see how the scoring reacts.
