Have a Target Alpha Im trying to get going 100%.

It will play a 1 player game fine, advancing ball to ball to game over. Player unit steps correctly and scoring is all on player one.

However if a 2,3, or 4 player game, the player unit never steps AT ALL. It just stays on player 1, ball 1. It seems to me like everything thing is excersized in the 1 player game (P relay, score motor contacts, player unit contacts, coin unit contacts, etc) so can't figure out why getting nothing in multiplayer. Checked the coin unit, p relay, bx, etc. and can't see what is wrong. The coin unit advances as players are added via the Start button. Something obvious I am missing?

In a one player game when you close the Ball Trough switch after scoring some points the P relay fires, the Score Motor turns and the Player Unit takes four steps, right? What happens if you then manually advance the Coin Unit and close the Ball Trough switch again?

Your game is behaving as if you've earned an extra ball (and the E/Extra Ball relay switch opens) or haven't scored yet (and the DX/1st Ball relay switch hasn't closed). Do the E and DX relays behave the same in one player and multi player games?
