Kira and I refit the solenoids and the leaf switch. At first score advancement was sticky. We needed to keep the leaf switch and the spring arm clear of the wheel mechanisms and cog teeth, and it was good after that. Using the cotter pin hole turned out to be a nice way to hold the spring arm out of the way.
We found we needed to tighten the fuse holders again, and needed to adjust the leaf switches under the secondary score wheel motor, so as to prevent it rotating continually.
