    I just don't know what it's called or the term for it. On some/most (?) EMs, there's a row of lights for 000-900

    What are they termed/called? Just noticing on mine, they do light up, but don't ever activate/change, and unsure what should cause them to change/advance? I can't say I've ever seen the stepper in the back box activate. (wondering if this is part of my problems)

    Even Google searching description of it, I'm not finding any info/name.

    Thanks in advance!

    Ok, yes that is it! So when should the match unit normally trigger? I can't say I've seen the coil fire, nor seen the light change on the back box, unless I manually operate the match unit.

    Only option in the back is to be able to set it to add a ball, or replay mode. I'm going to assume that for it to work, it should be in add a ball mode.

    I'll run the score up in add a ball mode and watch to see if it activates. I'm doubting that this is the source of my other troubles, but had thought if it is something that also gets reset on game over or ball drain, that it could potentially be one thing to make sure is working too.

    Thanks! Game is currently in replay mode. I've forced a game over situation and the match light does light up, it does not change to a different light/number however, and on game reset and simulating a game over, the same match light comes on. (doesn't change)

    Zaccaria Supersonic is the game. Schematic is not publicly available (like most others out there), I'll need to pony up the $25 to get a scanned copy.

    Stepper unit not sticking, it was rather greasy but now cleaned, never see/hear the coil fire, so something tells me coil is bad or a relay isn't activating it. But could also be if it is certain score required to bump it up to next one, and I've just not recreated that situation yet.

    Manually stepping it up does change the light at least.

    Awesome! Thanks guys! Will check the 1000 point relay and wiring, 1000 point score does increment fine. If it is the coil, I happen to have a NOS coil that I can replace it with at least.

    Much appreciated
