Hi Frytex,
Does the game work other than the score not zeroing?

[frytex]

yes everything else is great

I'm assuming this is an old electromechanical game with coils and relays inside? Your game probably has score reels that turn from 0 to 9 for each one for your score? And when you start a game, they should reset to zero again, but some are stopping and 8 (for example). But the game still plays?

If all this sounds familiar, then it sounds like the zero position switch for some of your score reels is out of adjustment, broken, or dirty, although you may have a problem with a score relay, reset relay, or score stepper unit also.

The following info is meant for EM pinballs, but the application is the same for the EM Arcade games, and should help you solve your problem:
