Hi ... Thanks for reading this ... Last night I went to help a friend who has a Williams Jackpot (EM) ... Previously, It was working ... then stopped, he had someone come "fix" it > it worked, then the next day, it didn't ... I went and fiddled with it last night ... As I recall > the score motor and 2 score reel reset relays were "running" (the 2 score reel reset relays on left side of cabinet > if you are looking in the head ... from the back) ... I got it "working" (played 8 games ... no problems) ... he turned it on today and played 1 game and then the score motor just kept running (won't start a new game) ... Last night, I checked all the score reels contacts for Player 1 to 3 (and adjusted a few) and then it was "working" ... (I never checked Player 4 > because it was "working") ... Any ideas ??? Score reels? Player Unit?? Score Motor??? Also > 10,000 score reel coil was burnt and seized (on Player 2) > so I took the bracket off the coil, manually rest that score reel to Zero, before I fiddled with anything ... since that coil was toasted > when I got it working, I only played 1 Player games .... (not sure if that matters ... but just in case) ... I am sure there is a problem that caused that score reel to lock on (I did find 2 wires that looked like they were touching > and separated them > so was hoping that resolved the coil locked on issue) ... BUT if you want to comment on that > please do ... Or I can make a separate thread if I get it going and am having problems with that ... THANK YOU for any help you can give !! P.S. My friend is getting frustrated ... wants to sell the game (it is in Very Good Condition ... 7.5 out of 10) ... but it was a surprisingly fun game to play ... and I would like to get it working for him ... but if anyone wants to buy it > LMK (that would save me a headache ... I have couple pinballs of my own to work on ... LOL)

Don't think score reels have even been rebuilt ... some of the contacts were very close together ... just wanted to make sure I wasn't working on wrong thing ... Thanks !
