Williams Lucky Ace 1974 - 10s score reel not resetting

The other score reels reset OK, just not the 10s reel

If I manually move the 10s reel to 0, the game starts OK

Thanks,

Assuming the 10 point score reel will score points during a game, but it won't reset when starting a game. Then you'll need to look at the circuit that sends power to the 10 point score reel solenoid during the reset process. Check the following switches:

Score reset relay switch - switch with yellow wire and black/red wire
10 point score reel zero position switch - switch with black/red wire and orange/blue wire

Check to make sure these switches are clean and adjusted properly...

I can't get the coil on the 10s reel to fire at all. May be a broken wire internally; I found a mount screw that was too long sticking into the side of the coil.

Sigh.

Put a multimeter on the coil. It should show a resistance around 6 ohms.

Yeah, did that. It's OL - open circuit.

You may be able to take the coil out and repair the broken wire, or buy a new B1-26-800 from one of the usual suppliers.
