Space Mission
Williams, 1976recently moved this machine and now it’s continuing to reset upon pressing start button. Some of the score reels on P2 are going past 0 but eventually do reset. Even after that though, the game continues to reset something underneath and only a tilt will stop it. Any suggestions on where to start looking for fixes?

These 2 switches, one on P2 1k, and one on P2 10k, are gapped too close.
Quoted from Lanust:the game continues to reset something underneath and only a tilt will stop it.
The reset cycle is listed on page 5 of the manual. Exactly how far is it getting?

Quoted from Lanust:Here is the gapping on the 1000s switch of p2. Not super familiar with what I’m looking for though.
If you look at working drum units (score reels), you should find that when on zero, all 3 switches are open.
Quoted from Lanust:The more pressing problem is the unending clacking afterward that comes from the dials underneath the playfield. Long after the score reels have finished their resetting themselves. Basically the last 10 seconds of the video
That's why I made my second post above, about how far it's getting in the reset sequence.

It seems like it’s getting to the final step of the reset, where the kick out is continuously firing.
