Hopefully someone can give me some guidance here as I don't have a lot of experience with em games. The problem I'm facing is that when starting say a 4 player game the scoring will start with a phantom player, then go to player 1, player 2, player 3, and then remain at player 3 forever with unlimited balls. I believe I've tracked the problem down to the player unit. I can manually push the stepper around by holding the wheel that moves and get it to align properly with each player.
The bigger problem is I can't figure out what the hell I'm looking at. The logic isn't making sense to me. I can tell that it's misaligned but I don't know how to fix it. It appears the wheel portion can only go on one of two ways because of the notches so it isn't like I can adjust the wheel an 1/8th of an inch or anything. I can only only flip it 180°. It's almost as if the hard stop is just too far back but again I see no adjustments for it. None of it appears to be adjustable.
The other thing I don't understand is the gear where the coils latch onto and advance one at a time. It only appears to use 3 notches in the gear and then hit a dead spot where there are no more notches. It would seem that it should be starting on the complete opposite end so that there are 20+ notches? Right now the majority of the gears would never be used. Looking at it though I can't see a logical way to make that happen though. There is a hard stop, and a pin that has to hit the switches.
I've taken some pics and video in hopes that someone can easily spot what I'm supposed to be doing.
