If the score motor on an EM keeps running when you go to start a game it is not resetting properly.

So while it is running spray a liberal about of contact cleaned on those relays.

(Edit: beat me to the contact cleaner post while I was getting a picture)

I am actually impressed. This is a pretty neat job and a lot harder to do than doing it right.

I'm wondering if the person lifted a few traces in the past and is gun shy about cleaning out the holes.

When taking the glass off make sure you put it on the cement floor corner first.

And if you don't have an electronics store to get solder you can always go to a plumbing supply place and get that acid core stuff in a pinch.

Oh, and if you're going to send a playfield to someone for clear coating here are a couple of tips.

Use a sharpie to fix any fine black lines like around inserts. This will save you touch-up money.

And if you wipe the playfield down with silicone before shipping it will arrive nice and clean. Nothing will stick to it.
