I have one's and ten's score reels scoring at same time. Any thoughts?

That would be the 10 and 100 point score wheels. The 1's are a dummy reel.
Quoted from JBK:Clean and adjust the switches
Yes, on the 10's.

You've got a short on the contact closing at 9th position taking the other reel with him on the tenth position.
Put a thin piece of paper between the contact on the score relay of the tens, the one that makes the contact on the 100's, then you can locate the short either on the score reel contact or on the wiring harness.
Quoted from JDCycle:I don't see any problem with the score reel switches and compare with several other Williams machines in the shop. I need to find or order a schematic at this point I suppose.
JD - I have not seen the schematic available for sale or online anywhere, but I have it.
I don't have the ability to scan the large size sheet it's on, but can easily run copies. If you want a paper copy, shoot me a PM and I would be happy to paper mail you a print.
Quoted from JDCycle:Found a blob of solder on a relay mounted to the playfield that switches scoring from tens to hundreds that hard to believe was actually making contact. Now fixed.
It's amazing how many times this happens, especially if you're working on the underside of a playfield, and not covering the relays on the mech. panel with a sheet... I just had a similar problem on a target alpha I was fixing... a splash of solder on the bakelite spacer basically closed a circuit that kept the score motor engaged... I was very lucky and eyeballed the issue prior to the issue driving me insane!!!
