I'm punishing myself with another EM. Hopefully I can get this one 100% before I get frustrated and sell it. I've been working on it for a few hours and I've made some progress, but I'm at the point where I'm lost.

Reset sequence does everything I think it should up until the player unit should spin and activate Z1 to reset scores. The player unit never does anything. If I manually move the player unit I can get it to reset scores and start a game. Once I start a game it's forever player one ball 1 because the player unit never moves.

I do have a schematic, but I don't fully understand it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm pretty sure I found it. Cleaned the switches on motor 1. Didn't do anything. Physically pushed on them during reset and score reels moved. Seems to be working now. I need a better file.

Quoted from currieddog:

Keep at it; TA is worth it! You have the schematic?

I do have the schematic. A nice original along with the manual came with the game.

It is a great game, this is my 3rd one! It's also the first game I ever bought.

I batted the ball around for a bit starting 2, 3 and 4 player games. Everything seems to be working great now. In the process of tearing it down. With any luck I'll have it up and running again by the weekend, or whenever my parts come in.

Quoted from currieddog:

Have you checked the score motor runout switch, inside sw. 1C, for cleanliness and solid contact?

It was the bottom switch in the stack, I believe it was 1A if I'm reading it correctly.
