The best place to go to fix EM problems is Clay’s Repairing EM guide.
Typical problems are the reels stick and don’t score right or the game won’t even start up at all. They’re also very heavy, especially if you get the 4 player versions which can really give you a workout when moving them.

Almost everything from the EM (Electro-mechanical, basically the games that had scoring reels) era is pretty affordable, with most ranging from free to $500 (which a few outliers).
