Got most everything working on project pin bur when the ball goes into any of the ejectholes, the score motor keeps spinning, the roulette wheel keeps spinning, the eject and spinner relays pull in and release about every 1/2 second.  If I hole the eject relay in with the ball in the eject hole, the wheel will stop.  Something is not allowing the eject relay to stop. Been testing everything in circuit related to eject relay with no luck.  Appreciate any help.  Thanks  Reed

I don't have the schematic, but it sounds like me that you need to follow the circuit that fires the eject coil for that outhole. Does the outhole coil fire ? If you drop the ball into the outhole, then the spinner starts etc, and you manually remove the ball from the outhole, does the score motor stop ?

Drop the ball in the eject hole, wheel starts spinning, motor running, both eject relay and spin relay pulling in and releasing about 2 times per second. Pull out ball from eject hole, motor and wheel stop. Check all switches on associated relays and score motor. Think this is bonus unit problem or switch related to bonus unit.  Also know that delay relay is working. Thanks for any help.  Reed

Within the circuit, is there are switch on the score motor that when closed, fires the outhole coil ? Sounds like he ball in the hole is recognized correctly, but because it is not fired out, the score motor switch might be permanently open - causing the motor to keep spinning.

After many hours, I finally got some help and figured out it was the gate set-up relay that was slightly out of adjustment.  Also, some score reels needed adjustment.  Thanks for all the comments.  Reed
