   Are the pins in the round pin bank getting triggered and popping up?  If   
   so then there is the snap action switches that should hit the pin and   
   stop the rotation.  They often go bad.  If you are handy you can use a   
   newer type switch with a long flat actuator and bend it in two 90 degree   
   turns so it sort of works backwards, or it's easier to adapt a   
   counter-clock wise coin type switch to do the same job.  I forget   
   exactly how I mounted them, only 1 bolt hole will line up.   
      
   If they don't pop up, do you see a lamp flash under the mech?  If so the   
   trigger solenoids are probably sticky or out of adjustment.   
      
   Oh, and most of that depends on a set of wiper fingers that may need   
   cleaning.  I think I normally would drop the pin bank and then the   
   wipers for a good cleaning, but I'm not quite sure anymore with out   
   seeing it.
