Hey guys, Im trying to work on this EM for the first time. I think there are some misadjusted switches on the reset motor bank. Mostly on the "tilt" stack, so I pulled that whole board out of the bottom of the cabinet to work on it. But the switches in those giant stacks are so close together I cant really work on them or adjust them. Any tips?
 
Small, long regular screwdriver and skinny, long pair of needle-nose pliers. Just make sure that the switches you mess with need adjustment. Sometimes if you think there are a lot of switches that need adjustment you're either reading the schematic wrong or there's another problem. Unless someone else got in there and tried to "fix" it, you should only be looking at a few that need adjustment -- like 2 or 3 max.

Also, if you're looking at the switch bank with it flipped up then it will appear that many aren't making contact with the reset bar, but it's deceiving.

I've been through the same thing and luckily I figured out some of the problems before I started changing switches that I thought were wrong.
 
Before you start adjusting them, always make sure the screws holding the point stack are tight. Otherwise you'll be back in there adjusting again soon.
LTG :)
 
Well I have all the switches adjusted correctly. ( I think) threw it back in and still nothing. The "Game Over" stack is always in the down position, is this correct? If I manually turn the reset bank, it will engage and go around itself, but then the reset bank pops down again. Im not sure if that makes any sense. I was really hoping I had it. Running out of ideas.
