This is driving me mad. When the ball rolls through the C lane it causes a tilt. It seems to be the switch that is causing it. It used to be intermittent but now I can't get it to stop tilting. I don't use tilt at all so is there some way to permanently disable it? Otherwise, how do I get the switch properly aligned? Is the bottom most blade supposed to touch the center blade? Is it supposed to move it away for it when the top blade touches the bottom blade. I can't really tell looking at the other lane switches. If I replace it do the switches come already aligned? Anyone know what this switch is called when ordering one? Could it be the diode on the switch?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the answer. All of the regular tilt switches are disabled. Someone told me once that the C lane switch is in the tilt circuit.

Anyone know where to get the schematics for this game? I have the operator's manual but can't seem to find a schematic anywhere. Thanks

So I seem to have it fixed now.

It was either the coin door switches (they didn't appear stuck but I worked them to make sure anyway) or the green disk capacitor on the tilt switch by the plum bob. I simply removed it. (See this pinside post: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/bally-elektra-tilt-problem#post-3361864). Have played quite safe games with no issues now.

Thanks for the advice.

Meant to say "have played quite a few games."
