Williams Touchdown Thousands Don't Reset

I'm working on a Williams Touchdown machine. When you start a new game, the ones, tens and hundreds wheels all return to zero. The thousands wheel will only return to zero if it is at nine when you start the game. Otherwise, it stays on whatever number it was at when the last game ended. I looked over the schematic and can't even find a reference to the 1000s wheel. All the other score wheels have three position switches, which are described in the manual. The switch positions change when the score wheel is at 0, 1 thru 8 and 9. The 1000s only has two position switches. 0 and 9. Thoughts?

Quoted from OneMajrPITA:

The switch positions change when the score wheel is at 0, 1 thru 8 and 9. The 1000s only has two position switches. 0 and 9

It's one of those two switches on the 1000s score reel.

If you want me to show you where it is on the schematic, post to IPDB or email me a high quality scan from Staples ($2) or Kinkos ($7). The reason I insist on the high quality scan is that I've tried to help many times with phone pic schematics and every time they're blurry, incomplete or in multiple pieces which makes them too hard to read. Make it easy for us to help you!

Thanks for the quick response. I only have the original hard copy of the schematic, which isn't easy to read either. I'm planning to take it in to Staples to get it digitized this week. I can send you a copy once I get it.

The thousands reel won't have the 9th position switch. Look at another reel when it's reset and find the two switches that match those on the 1000s and adjust accordingly.

Thanks currieddog and HowardR. I got the schematic blown up and found the 1000s reels. After looking at the differences in the 1000s wiring, I came to the same conclusion as currieddog. I adjusted the lower switch so that it was open at 0 and closed for all other numbers, instead of only at 9. Everything now seems to be working as it should.

As always, I appreciate the input.
