We've got a Big Choice claw machine with the small three relay board. Anyway, it crapped the bed the other day and I have been working on it. No loose wires, relays all engaging properly, switches seem to be working. The wire was jammed and I think it burned out one of the motors in the claw assembly it wanted to spit ball here a little.
Near the end of the day yesterday I got everything to work on it but the right motor going in reverse. You could start a game from first position, move down, move over and claw would drop, but it would not come back up once it engaged switches. However, I could manually press the other switch and it'd clamp the claw so coil works and return to rest position with claw dangling. So, claw goes down but won't come back up. That switch on the claw up down works fine with Dmm test and no loose wires that I can tell. Is there anything else I should look for for a motor not reversing the claw back up? Thermal fuse is good and all other fuses good too. Thanks in advance!
