Hi all, I have a sonic prospector pinny that I let a nephew play and later he said it's not working. It was not scoring or no lights up on backboard. I had a play with it and left it. This week I checked it again and it would not reset. I went to score reels and cleaned them and now it resets. I pulled out the jones plugs and cleaned them and got the lights to work .So I can play it ,makes all the sounds but score reels will not move. I tried 2 player but it won't move to 2 player because of no score. I do notice that once started and I run over a scoring function there are a couple of relays humming. I checked all the playfield switches and I am at a loss as to what's going on. Any of you clever guys got any idea?

Quoted from HowardR:

Exactly what is humming?

Hi Howard. The lock coil on the base ( single switch on the right hand bank of coils ) And the 100 and 1000 coils on the back board

Thanks for replying .I mean the 100 and 1000 coils that are separate from the score reels. they are in the top of the back box

I played around with the bumpers and it started scoring but when it went into the middle score retrieval and eject the eject is not working. The coil tests ok so I will look into it further . I think it may need a big clean of contacts.
