I had a similar issue when I bought it but after cleaning a lot of switches it stopped.

Here’s what it’s doing: When I push start button the score reels all reset to Zero like they should but the score motor and the 1&2 and the 3&4 Reset relays in the backbox keep running.

If I manually step up a few of the score reels on the 2nd player reels and then turn game on and start a game, everything resets and the score motor stops, the 1&2 and 3&4 Reset relays stop and the ball kicks out to the shooter lane. In other words it starts a game like it should.

But after I play a game and push the start button to play another, the score reels all reset to zero but the original problem occurs with the score motor and 1&2 and 3&4 Reset relays won’t stop running.

Wondering why manually stepping up a couple of score reels stops the problem temporarily? Thanks

Both of your responses make a lot of sense and are helpful. I’m going to start there when I get home from work.

Another thing I noticed late last night was that if I played a 2 Player game and used the Player 2 score reels, everything reset and started perfect when starting a game after that. Something about the switches on the Player 2 score reels?

I think you nailed it Mark. One of switches on the 1000 unit of the Player 2 score reels had a solder tab that had loosened and I didn’t see it. Snipped and resoldered it and everything is resetting and starting correctly.

Thanks to both of you.
