hi Everyone, first post for me in here, looks like a great community. my wife and I were gifted a fiery 30's pinball game from her parents. i finally hooked it up. initially it was working (some of the numbers on the reel were sticking but i was able to free them) but now, it seems to be stuck in what i think may be a scoring cycle. her parents did say that this had happened before. i dont think the game has been played for more than 10 years. video attached:


anyone have an idea of where to start? the manual is at my inlaws, somewhere...they are not sure where though. i am a total noobie for these things. i am pretty handy, so im sure i can learn a little, just looking for some guidance.
the video shows, what i hope may be some keys for what to look for. like how the scoring isnt set to 0, and the game counter doesnt read a number, its just blank.
thanks!

Score reels are trying to reset to 0's. Read more here about that: http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index2.htm#reels

Recel was made in Spain, and modeled after Gottlieb.

just wanted to say thank you! i pulled all of the reels and reset them to 0's, and it works. i have 1 or 2 bad reels oddly enough on the 4th player that i have to look into. as long as i stay away from that for the time being, it works very well. now to rebuild the flippers.
