I just started fixing up my first EM, a Williams Casanova. After swapping out fuses and giving the steppers a good scrub I've run into an issue with attempting to coin up the machine. Upon coining up the score reels begin counting up and the chime rings with 100. Does any one have any suggestions on where to start with this problem?

I'm thinking it's some of the leaf switches on the motor but felt it would be best to ask on pin side before going through it given my lack of experience with EM games.

Also I went ahead and uploaded a video to YouTube with the coin up sequence described.

Any playfield contact rollover stuck closed is where i would start also the top right target feeds the 10 pt. relay activating the score drum unit.
Do you have the schematic?

Also the A Or B target with a contact issue allows/ pulls the 10 pt. re. from what i see.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been going over the schematic for the past half hour and one the switches you mentioned seem to be the culprit.
