Hey Paul,

 

I am currently at work so haven't got time to go into full details, but I had the same thing happen to my Gottlieb Soccer. The machine wasn't resetting all the time, and whilst I was at work the kids went in turned it on, and when it didn't reset properly they went off and played. meanwhile the motor continues to run trying to reset everything until it melts the windings. I found a company in the US that was the original manfacturers of the motor and later tonight I'll look up their details and quote for you, in the end I rewound it myself and it hasn't missed a beat since. You may find some old posts on RPG about it. Will add more tonight I also have photos of my burnt out motor and after repair.

 

Regards

Pigsie

Hey pigsie

 

cheers mate...any help at all would be GREAT...PM me if you like...

 

rewinding sounds interesting...

 

sounds like I had the same problem...not resetting for some reason..

 

I do know that I turned the machine on for some friends to play...then it was left for a bit and I could smell the smoke...
