I have a 1966 'Subway' that I just bought. When the stand-up targets are hit, the machine does not register the 50 points. If I hold the target with my finger, the 50 point relay locks and the score motor registers the 5 clicks to score. The score reels will also register 50 points.
When the ball drains, the 50 points are not registered, ball count does not decrease, and the ball advance coil does not fire to allow me to use the elevator. If I hold the roll over wire in the trough, 50 points are registered, but the coil still does not advance the ball to the elevator.
When the score reels try to turn the 100 reel, the tens coil locks on. When the game is powered off, the score reels display 100.
1's and 10's are both scoring 11 points. I think I know the issue with this problem.

Please help a newbie to fix a classic game in beautiful condition.

Whoa! Definitely going to need to see a schematic for all that. Do you have one you can get scanned and post? If not, check PBR: http://www.pbresource.com/

You can read and get started on this: http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index2.htm#reels For the targets, the contacts behind probably need to be cleaned and adj.

Game looks to be in fabulous shape!

Nice "Subway"! One of my all-time favorite games.
Check the ten point relay, and make sure the switch stack screws are tight, then clean the switches on it and make sure they are making and breaking properly. Also check the score motor switches, because there's a switch that keeps the relay locked on while it's generating five pulses to the score reel. Off the top of my head, I don't know the exact location of that switch, but I had a similar problem on a game back when I was a newbie (yes, it was a flipper game), and someone had me check the "lock in" switch. That sounds like the problem with your game.
There should be a card stapled to the inside of the cabinet which identifies the motor switches.
