Been trying to solve an issue with the scoring reels on a buddy's machine. No amount of scoring reel switch adjustments seems to change their behavior, and they do different things based on which playfield items get triggered. I shot 4 brief videos of each scoring reel in action - hopefully these will allow someone to offer guidance and next-steps.
Current suspicions are with the player unit in the backbox, as my understanding is that this unit sends playfield signals to the L, M, and N relays, which then tell the scoring reels to advance appropriately. Is this correct? Perhaps someone can explain the normal signal path from the playfield to the relays, scoring reels, and player unit.
Here are the videos:
Player One score reel behavior: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ht4dq2yof80yx97/player1.MOV?dl=0
Player Two score reel behavior: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3gcs02opqvcwrtm/player2.MOV?dl=0
Player Three score reel behavior: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ybvkhjp3ir3ya29/player3.MOV?dl=0
Player Four score reel behavior: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ak39dk2d3tl7e8n/player4.MOV?dl=0
Thanks for any additional help, and happy holidays
