Won't start

I can't get the motor to turn on my Royal Flush. The game powers on, but player # 2 lights are not on. If I press the start button the start really engages, but that's it. Manually turning the motor makes the sequence bank buzz and squawk in protest.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Found a wire that had broken loose.
Oops.

Glad you found it. I'll share a recent related story, to help future searches:

On a Playmatic I recently got, the motor wouldn't run, despite having voltage to it. I took a screwdriver (and the machine off/unplugged of course), i tried spinning the motor core itself... and initially it would not move, but a little more force and it popped and started moving freely. Some time in the past it had gotten jammed and just needed a push to get it back into position. Works fine so far now.
