No Flippers - No Scoring - No Action on Playfield except dropdown targets go down & reset. First time ever looking into guts of a pin ball machine. I NEED HELP.

Ok have been tinkering around and got every thing except for score reels, and the two lowest score bumpers. What I found was the unit that registers what ball in play, was all gummed up. I cleaned & lubed this part to get play field to come to life. Still need help on score reels??

I hope when you say sanded that all you used was maybe an emery board
sanding may take too much of the actual contact metal away
but great to hear you got it all working!
