I was playing my Six Sticks the other day and all of a sudden I had no flippers. I've been going through it but I can't find anything wrong. Unfortunately I don't have a schematic.

All fuses check good
I can start a game- score reels reset, relay banks reset, ball ejects, ball count progresses.
Playfield is lit
Thumper bumpers don't activate
Nothing on the playfield registers scoring
Manually tripping the 1, 10, and 100 point relays move the score score reels appropriately
Tilt is not lit and tilt relays are not tripped
Can load multiple players and it acts the same on every player

The one clue that's interesting is the ball ejector and left outlane ball kickback solenoids are functioning.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Sounds like something on the tilt relay. or, game over relay.
chk all the switches on these relays, It is the Ready that your missing. Start up is completing, but signal is not being passed to the play part of the circuit.

This game has a tilt relay for each player so I believe those can be eliminated. I checked adjustment and filed the start, game over, and anti-cheat relays.

Did you send me an image from the instruction card?
If no, can you please look if you have an original card on your machine?
If the number on the card (lower left corner) is anything else the SIX-1, please send me a photo or scan of the card.

Yup that was me. Figured I'd scan it since I had it open to work on.

Does that game have a relay bank under the playfield, or on the bottom board?
that could be the problem.

I monkeyed with it last night and got it working, though I'm not exactly sure where the issue was. I filed everything on the game over, start, anti-cheat and hold relays. Still no luck but it really did seem like it was tilted even though the tilt relays weren't latched. I ended up tilting it with the pendulum which released the hold relay but didn't trip the tilt relay until I loaded a new ball. After I reset the game it started working normally. I wish I knew better how these relays relate to the tilt... But it's working now. If I narrow it down further I'll report back in case it helps someone else out.
