I know this is old, but I am looking for an Omni Manual. but I would also take whatrever you have, so I can add it to my archive.

Wow, that was a few years ago. I think I did end up with something. I
will poke around to see if I got something. Pretty sure I did.

I just recently worked on one of those.
1. Check the following contact points:
a. There is a relay mounted beside the motor. When the game is off, the points should be open. When the game is on and you are not
actually needing the pins reset, the points should be open and the relay should not be pulled in.
b. There is a set of points on a metal cam. The cam turns when the motor runs. There is a low spot on the cam. The points must
open when the cam reaches the low spot.
2. Check that the brake on the motor is moving in and out properly. If the motor runs all the time, turn the game off and inspect the brake. It should move in and out freely. (the brake is the little wheel inside the motor rotor) If it is stuck, use non flammable contact cleaner to loosen it up until it moves really freely.
3. If everything else looks good but you still have a problem, cut a small rectangle of cereal box cardboard so that it fits into the relay in step 1 a above. The cardboard goes between the coil and the plate that the coil operates.

The problem with the game I worked on was fixed with the small square of cardboard. The plate had started sticking to the coil. I am not
convinced it was a magnet field. I think something was binding in the mech, but I could not see anything. The cardboard decreased the amount of travel of the plate and the sticking stopped.

Good luck
