Does anyone have a Gottlieb game that has this spin relay? In Spin Wheel the wheel on the backbox is supposed to rotate around and land on values at "random" but mine only advances one at a time. I need to figure out how to take it apart and clean it because it is a bit sticky. But the coil is only firing once, instead of a few times to spin the wheel. It's not as cool to own a Spin Wheel that doesn't spin lol. Any advice on this unit? Would love to hear from an owner that can confirm how it works. Thanks!

If the coil is only firing once it's likely an issue with the circuit driving the Spin relay, not the Spin Relay itself. Does the switch on the Spin Unit close?

For a better idea of how the Spin Unit and Spin relay work see the video at:

Well, that is the problem and unfortunately my unit is missing parts to work right. It is missing the spinner for some reason.
