Addams Family Right Sling Fires Unnecessarily

My Addams Family was working without problems for months. Right sling started firing seemingly randomly. I have narrowed it down to the right sling firing when solenoid 1 thru 15 fires. It doesn't happen every time but almost every time.

My switch matrix was a mess when I got the game and replaced U-18, U-20 and U-13 and all was well. Since I installed sockets for those I swapped them out with new chips just in case but still have the problem.

Kind of at a dead end now. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks very much.

Turn the game off. Remove the plastic over the sling shot kicker and leaf blade switches. Pull on the rubber ring around the posts, so you have equal pressure on all sides, not tight on the kicker/leaf blade switch side. The leaf blade switches - front long one should be resting on the rubber ring, not pushing it or away from it. Shorter rear one should be close enough so the slightest ball hit triggers it, yet vibration doesn't. There are two leaf blade switches, one each side of the kicker. At least one needs a little adjusting. When bending forward or backward, get as close to the fiberboard spacers as you can.

Thank you so very much! Great video and learned a lot from that. That is exactly what my problem was! Switch just a bit too sensitive on the right sling shot. I'm an EE by training so I guess when all you have is a hammer a lot of problems start looking like nails! Here I was looking for a bad chip or other anomaly in the circuit when it was mechanical related. Thanks again for your help and the video was excellent.
