    Hi, my pinball is wired to turn on and off with the coin return buttons. Everything was working fine till I pressed the coin return button to turn it off, now it won’t power on any more.
    Any ideas?

    Check behind the coin door? Is the coin return hitting anything like a bare wire? I’ve put repair booklets away that just barely nudged a loose main fuse just inside the door. Check that too.

    Sounds as though your machine has been modified, and someone will need to look inside of the cabinet. There is a shock hazard from line voltages on the coin door and elsewhere. Unplug the game before poking around inside.

    These were wired from the factory to turn off with a slam or a punch to the bottom of the machine, tripping a slam tilt switch on the bottom of the cabinet (behind the coin box). Starting a game with a coin, or a credit, would turn on the machine.
