I have a Bally 4 million BC that will not game over. It does not go to the second player and will not 'game over'. I am sure it is a stuck switch but I am not sure how to trouble shoot it. Any help would be great!

I would recommend checking a few places.
#1. Inspect your ball count unit. Verify that it is moving properly. Examine the coils and wire connection. Clean and adjust the rivets on the bakelite.
#2. Inspect your outhole switch. Clean and adjust as necessary.
#3. Inspect your player unit. Verify that it is moving properly. Examine the coils and wire connection. Clean and adjust the rivets on the bakelite.

I had a 4 Million BC (sorry I sold it now) and had similar problems. One of the best things I did was to go through all the wiring in the back box by methodically tugging one each wire that is soldered. I was surprised how may were hanging on by a thread. Reflowed the solder on those connections that were questionable and never had any further problems. It is not as bad a job as you might think, took me only about an hour to an hour and a half.
