I thought I could fix this as a summer project - Nope. I have NO IDEA what I am doing or even looking at.
When we bought this, my husband said it was working at the house he picked it up from. Perhaps the 9 hour bumpy ride home shook something loose? The reset button does not reset the game or release the ball and the game is stuck on TILT. Any help or ideas of what to do would be appreciated. And as a reminder, I have NO IDEA what anything is so telling me to do something needs a bit of explanation or picture with it.
I am seriously thinking about finding someone to repair it because I want to play so badly and I begged my husband to go get it. Ideas on the ballpark of cost for that??

Most likely one of the tilt switches in your game is stuck closed from the move.

You'll have to figure out what they look like and where they are in your game.

Could be a pendulum tilt on the left wall inside the coin door, one on the floor of the machine, maybe one in the backbox.

The captive ball one in your picture looks okay.

Hard to tell from the pictures - how many games are showing in the credit window? The credit wheel should turn easily, move it so it shows at least two or three games, then try the start button on the coin door.

If that's not it, unplug it, then plug it in. Do you here something click when you plug it in? Just need to know for future reference.

Hi Itshotinjt Welcome to pinside.

If pressing the Replay button doesn't activate the Start relay (S), Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires

OR If you or your husband are pretty handy with general repairs, you'd like to try a phone call (and you have a paper copy of the schematic), send me your cellphone number in a private message and I'll make a first reply with a text message.

OR maybe this is more to your liking
