Quoted from RetroRyan:

t does not close the trough locking mechanism after gameplay begins

If you're referring to the Ball Release solenoid that has a Black&Orange wire on one terminal, what's this switch on the Game relay doing when you score 10 points or Tilt the game?

Check the Make&Break switch on the 4th Ball relay down and to the left of the Ball Release coil I circled in red above.

For a switch to work 3 things are necessary:
1) When open, there should be a small space between the contact points (duh)
2) When closing, the long blade's contact point should push the short blade's contact point enough to move the short blade
3) The contact points should be clean, which they usually will be if #2 is happening

Quoted from RetroRyan:

the game over relay does not engage after the 5th ball is played

Then Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires
