Hello. I've been working on a Bride of Pinbot machine that has an odd head motor problem. Apparently from time-to-time the head motor will creep forward all by itself and leave the head partially turned between faces. I've resoldered connections on the motor and relay board as well as the motor itself. When I had it in for cleaning everything seemed fine...... but now that it's in the field I hear complaints about the head. Anyone come across this problem before? Thanks for reading and your input.
 
My guess would be the switches that sense where the head is at..... or some locking thing that has gone loose and the ball makes it spin instead of lock.

I have not checked mine out enough to know how that all works. I can take pics though if you need.
