10 point relay stays engaged

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

on the 10 point score reel there is an end of stroke switch.
is one leaf of the switch broken? if so fix it. start with
that and let us know.

does a pop bumper cause this? if so, check the pop bumper
relay. if that is staying energized, then the 10 point
relay will stay energized too. on gottlieb's there is an NC
EOS switch on the pop bumper coil itself that turns off the pop
bumper relay (and hence the score reel). williams games don't
*usually* work that way though. but check that out.
