Getting back into the game room a bit and trying to get everything sorted before the holiday traffic. On my SO76 I can get through playing balls 1-2 but at ball 3 it skips to ball 4 (sometimes ball 5) and then the player 1 score reels start thumping to the rhythm of what I think are the reset coils - it does this until I shut the machine down and restart. Any ideas on where to start? I have yet to dive in so it might be fairly simple to see whats happening when I do get into it- but a little bit of direction or a clue as to why this is happening is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

Just on Player 1?

To get from Player 1 Ball 1, to P1 Ball 2, to P1 Ball 3, etc., the Player Unit has to step four times. So if it's going from Player 1 Ball 2 right to Player 1 Ball 4, that would suggest the Player Unit stepping eight times, or that the wiper disc on it is somehow off a bit.

Switches in the path of stepping the Player Unit include those on the cam switch stacks (behind the Player Unit), the Coin Unit (tracks number of players), P relay, BX relay, score motor switches.

When the game starts at Player 1 Ball 1, one quick thing to check is manually stepping the Player Unit four times and see that it goes to Ball 2, then keep stepping it and see that it's able to sequence correctly mechanically. If it doesn't land on the right ball count per step, then check the wiper disc.

Dirt- thank you very much

Not sure if the issue is only on player one but I believe that it is the same for all players- if it skips ball 3 on player one it will skip ball 3 on every one- but I'll check tonight. I ran through a game last night and I was able to play ball 3 but then is skipped ball four and started it's thumping.

I'll manually check the player unit tonight ( this is the unit in the head if I am not mistaken)
