    Hello pinside from minnesota!
    My father has recently bought a non functioning William's united Seville shuffle alley. I have checked Clay's guide for EM William's startup sequence but my machine is missing a lot of the relays that pinballs use to start up. Sometimes when you put a quarter in the front it will immediately reset, now all it does is add players, its also what the start button does. I'm not sure if I just have switches or relays mis-aligned or if the machine is just losing power somewhere? The transformer seems to be making the right amount of AC voltage, shes not popping any fuses at startup. This is my first EM machine and I just dont know where to look from here, any help is appreciated a lot, I also have a DMM
    I've tried just manually engaging the start relay but nothing happens, it's like it gets no voltage like its dead but it could be that it depends on other relays engaging first before the machine gives it any power

    Here is a thread I have been following that is going through a ball bowler but most mechanisms are the same.

    Also a little confused, physically the relays are missing and it use to reset. Wow.

    Also Mopar seems to know his stuff. I believe like Iā€™m sure you read You have to clean up and lube all s.u. And d.u. Anything sticking could prevent a restart. I noticed the one scorer was at 1. Has it been like that maybe manually reset it to 0. I have a cape cod 72ā€™ United works pretty good just need to finish going through the s.u. For spare and strikes , frames and score reels. I cleaned switches on the alley took apart and lubed with a Teflon grease and de-rusted parts then cleaned the pin deck all mechanisms the same. As you clean parts thing starts to come more alive.

    Thanks for the reply, I started going through everything now. I put that score to 0 as well. I should have specified by resetting that it just reset pins and not anything else. Thanks for the thread, I've been googling pinside for quite some time and haven't found that one and it looks really helpful. I've found some wires hacked off on the credit relays as well
