Still wrestling with this one. It doesn't seem to be the hold relay, or ball
count unit 0,6 swithces and the ball kicker soleniod does activate as I
jumper through the cicuit. I am suspicious of motor switch 1C but after
cleaning and adjusting it things are no better. At start up the motor just
does a third of a turn. Any thoughts?

Are the score reels resetting to zero? Would not seem to be indicated,
since you say on startup the motor only goes 1/3 of turn.

I had the same problem on mine. It turned out to be the out hole coil
had a broken winding right at the lug.
