    When I start a new game the Outhole Relay continually cycles. This activates the ball stepper relay from Ball 1 to Ball 2 to Ball 3 then Game Over. It doesn't matter whether the ball is sitting in the outhole or not. I checked the outhole switch, it is not stuck closed and is properly adjusted. Even though the outhole relay is cycling, it is not activating the outhole ball kicker solenoid. The ball never gets kicked out onto the playfield. Strangely, the outhole relay does continually activate the kickout hole solenoid (capture hole at the top of the playfield) as it cycles. I checked the switch for the kickout hole, it is not stuck closed and is properly adjusted. I have no schematics and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

    It is likely this blurry score motor sw, which I think is 8B. Link to the game, schematic and manual on IPDB: https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1677

    Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires
