Bally Feedom Pinball playing up

[Lovejoy]

Hello,i need a bit of help please.
My Bally Freedom Pinball is playing up.
IT all started with the player 1 and player 2 coils and relays going like the clappers when player 1 score reels get stuck on 600.
It does settle down for a bit and resets to 00000.
Also the 00-90 unit coil gets stuck in the on position and gets hot when the ball goes in score wheels value and hits the drop target etc.
The middle chime coil by the door gets stuck in the on position at the same time and gets hot and hums.
If playing 4 players at once it doesn't happen with player 2,3 and 4 only player one.
It adds 100 points to player 2 when player 1 has had its turn.
Also,the drop targets don't always pop up fully.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I would have a go at fixing it if anyone can help.
Thanks,
Dave.

Sounds to me like the switch blades on the score reel need checking and cleaning. Also, if the stuck 6 reel (3rd one) for player one is getting stuck,it's worth pulling that out, stripping it down and cleaning it.

I ignored the signs and broke stuff on my Minizag....don't make the same mistake I did

Oh - and while I was making a quick keyfob for the new owner - scanned my scorecard - as it's pretty 'Groovy' itself - thought you may like a copy.. I have the original dirty scan - I cleaned this up a little.. FWIW. :)

The other stuff may be a symptom of this, except the drop targets, they are likely to need to be removed, stripped and cleaned. A daunting prospect, but actually quite fun

The score reel is ok now.
The 00-90 unit still sticks in the on position only on player 1 when the ball goes in Scores wheel value,rolls over four advance feature and hits drop targets.
Its fine when hitting the bumpers.
Work fine in 2,3 and four player turns.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
