I cant get my Target Alpha to start a game. There are credits on the machine. I notice the game over is locked in and shouldn't be. If I manually activate the reset switches the scoring motor continues to spin until I unlatch the AX switch. It also will not score any points when I manually activate any scoring switches on the playfield. I've cleaned and gapped many of the other switch units to no avail. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Finally was able to look at the TA again. What I could not see was that the slam switch(I believe that's what its called) on the coin door was bent and not touching. It now powers up but the scoring motor continues to run. I just need to go through that sequence and find what is not resetting completely.
