I played 6 players and gave them all a Turkey
Player 3 scored correctly
Player 2 did not get any tens points
Player 1 and 5 I don't know what the hell. that was Not even close to the correct score.
Some of the wheels and gears look like they need to be oiled? What would be a good oil

You will want to remove all the congealed oil/grease and re-lubricate "Super Lube synthetic grease" is recommended.

This. Plan on 30 minutes per score wheel.
When your done with those, start cleaning the stepper.
Endless fun! But so rewarding when it resets properly that first time.
I agree with RonSS clean all units. Take pics as you take apart. Use the grease on all metal on metal components. The grease should have a Teflon in it. Plastic on metal and plastic on plastic does not need grease. The original lube they used gets old and gums up and starts to bind mechanisms so a good cleaning and greasing will do wonders.

Coil sleeves are designed to "run dry" any lubrication applied there would attract and capture dust and debris. same with any open brass gears in a score motor you may encounter (there is a felt pad for a minimal amount of lubrication)
Coil sleeves are readily available and can be easily replaced if damaged
A thin layer of Super Lube or "teflon gel" on the hub of the stepper gear is recommended.
Step 5e. After the shaft/cog and hole is clean, put a thin layer of Teflon Lube Gel on the shaft. Install the shaft into the Stepper Unit. If a switch was swung out of the way, put it back and re-install its attachment screw.
The above advise about taking pictures is a MUST !!! but also make note of the "clock spring" attachment points and count the number of turns as you unwind.

You are correct I should have clarified that thanks for doing so. Also stated in the post about pinrepair.
Finalizing plunger cleaning with Lemon Pledge can be a plus..
Also, Ballys maybe somewhat, but United/Williams insulating spacers
seem to have had more ability to shrink. Snugging up the switch stack
screws before adjusting is always a plus..
Lubing wasn't always a priority to many of the old time vendors.
Many things function off of the Score Motor's wiper board. Checking the
Score Motor's wiper finger rivets for extreme excessive ware is always a
good policy..

Hey Mopar had a quick question off subject but I have 2 random
Lights on the playfield on when game started like a football and touchdown light that should not be. It is on my Pitch and bat was wondering if maybe you might know a cause or areas to check. Thanks.

Frankfort's just east of Utica. I don't remember before knowing that..
Anyways, you have the Williams football (forgot the name) P&B?
I never had that machine, and I'm sure you checked the lights'
corresponding relays, so maybe it has a source that it's back feeding
from. Without the schematics, it's tough to have an idea, but if I had
to take a shot, I'd go with a make/break switch.
I recently had a very strange experience with a make/break on a Cowpoke.
I'm still somewhat scratching my head. Had to finesse to solve the problem..

Yep that’s right ole upstate ny. The game is. 69’ Gridiron. The schematics for the football light shows it going to the football Unit that has a Bakelite board and the relay I found I can make the light go on and off but I believe it’s on in the position it’s suppose to be in but I will look at the schematics again. Your probably on the right track that relay may be the culprit still all new to me but following your responses on the ball bowler On another thread And impressed with your knowledge. Thanks. Also didn’t mean to hijack the thread.

That's right. Gridiron. I played one years back..
I'm sure you had already carefully checked the front, but perhaps the backside of the Football
Unit's wiper board. Probably not, but maybe a foreign wire stran..
Quoted from Mopar:but maybe a foreign wire stran..
I started thinking the same thing for the football light. ANd the touchdown light I believe will be on that relay after looking at the schematics will check in the am.
