The scoring reels stopped working during gameplay.
The game still chimes and plays fully and all Playfield switches seem to be working.
When manually moving all the reels off zero the game will reset all reels back to zero and start a game like Normal.
Just will not work during gameplay.
Honestly searched pinside for hours and could not find this particular problem.
I’m imagining it’s an switch on the score motor but I’ve checked them best i could.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Start by checking these 2 switches

I just cleaned and they didn’t need adjusting.
Same result .

This is part of the reset seq. Betting that P5B is not opening or needs cleaning.

Had my hopes when I looked at p5B only one of 2 switches on that stack.
But adjusted correct and cleaned.same result .
When checking all these switches I’m also checking for any lose or broken wires but nothing wrong there.

If you coin up a 2-player game, do both player 1 and 2 score reels fail to function?

Yes
It will work normal alternate player 1 to player 2 all the way to ball 3 and game over.
But no scoring

If the 1st Player 10s don't score, Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires

Solved !!!!!

So I went to alligator clip 4c to R-relay red Green.
Notices the top of the switches stack on R was a little smushed bent down.
Straighten them up and the wire behind the red green wire.
Had some lose thread wires touching the switches beside it.
Of course I had a major moment of Eureka!!!
Cleaned up all the lose wire threads fired up the game and everything worked great.
What a fight this was.
Just a simple short between switches causing havoc.
Thank you so much guys for all the awesome advise.
Got me to the solution one way or the other.
Tried to get a photo of the problem but kinda of had it straightened up before I took pic.
