On my WMS BTC I picked up last weekend, everything's been working great until I finally wound the clock to 12 where it stopped.
According to the instructions at 12 it is supposed to light the 6 and I should be able to continue winding the clock at least to 6. So I took out the unit and there is a screw installed as a stop that stops it at 12, but also serves as a stop when the game resets which is also at 12.
Without this stop, it looks like upon reset, the stepper would just unwind the spring all the way and freewheel to a random stop. It is the kind of stepper with two coils, one that clicks up, one that releases upon reset.
So to anyone else that owns one or knows the function, is it supposed to be at 12 when game starts? If so, it needs to at least be able to go around 1 1/2 times and still reset and come to a stop.
The only other thing I can come up with is it is supposed to start at 6 and somebody moved it or some special mechanism I am missing. Any advice would be appreciated. I've been thru 100s of these steppers just like this one, but this has me confused.
Thanks for any help!
