I forget which, but one of those micro switches is in the circuit for both A & B sides. A bad micro switch is most likely the problem. I've seen it many times.

I completely agree with Tony, One of the first things I teach my apprentices (after the electrical safety bit) is to go for the easy fixes - test EVERY SINGLE microswitch with a continuity tester and watch for bouncing readings while tripping and afterwards. Microswitches must trip cleanly and stay tripped. No noise, just a clean closure as the switch is pushed from just activate until the button bottoms out on the body of the switch.
Any noise? Replace, retest, go on to next switch.
This fixes so many issues that the machine is often ready to go out once all the switches are dealt with.
Contacts are the biggest headache in machines.

That was be my first thought as well but it jumps both inner and outer pin tracks and I cannot locate the "R" relay that should be energized. I don't believe both micro-switches failed at the same time.

Read in circuity is fine. The selected pin sets properly on the pin assembly. When the magazine motor starts and moves the magazine and stopping switch gear, the stopping switch finds the selected pin but jumps right over it without stopping and starting the transfer cycle. My manual shows that Control Relay R operates along with the shift solenoid through the stop switch when a pin is encountered. My question is: Where in the heck is control relay R? I've found R1, R2, and R5 but cannot find R. in the machine or the manual.
Thanks, Dean
