Does anyone here collect vintage EM pinball machines?

Sadly, that tells me nothing. Do you hit the start button and nothing happens? Does the score motor start running and relays click nonstop without ever starting a game.

The problem with EMs is there are many variables that have to be completed before it kicks the game out. If it can't reset every score reel and counter to zero, and detect its at zero, it won't start. If the credit unit doesn't register its got credits, it won't start. If the score motor run-out contact isn't working, the score motor won't run. If the coin switches are shorted out, it wont start up.
