Wizard was running fine. The bonus unit got stuck adding bonus points. I tilted the plumb bob to get it to stop. Now nothing on play field activates except the ball in play sling shot. All lights on. Dont see tilt light on BG. Score reels all reset to zero. Any ideas where to start.
Thanks

The flippers and other playfield solenoids get power through
the fuse on the schematic at about D2,
the switch on the Game Over relay at F3,
the switch on the Reset relay at F4,
and the switch on the Tilt relay at F10.

Inspect and diagnose this circuit with
Alligator clip jumper wires

Quoted from Doomer:

bonus unit will not stop firing

If the Bonus unit keeps stepping up, temporarily put slips of paper in the various legs of this circuit until it stops to find out where the step up signal is coming from.

Thanks for all the help. Just a stupid stuck switch on the playfield. Now the last thing I need to solve is the flag flip sequence for the rollovers and targets. Have cleaned most switches but flags not always flipping back and forth. Game starts with all flags flipped to the right. As you hit the rollovers and switches they are should flip in the other direction. This is not the case. Anyone with a Wizard want to try and let me know how these are should work as you activate the rollovers and targets. Is there a rollover that resets them all and should they all reset with each time a new ball is played.
Thanks
Doomer
