Hi all,

I have a Bally Captain Fantastic that I'm working on and it just doesn't want to start.

When the machine is powered on, the lock relay stays energized so that's good.
When I put a coin, the reset relay and the coin relay stay energized along with the lock relay and nothing happens. Pressing the start/reset button does nothing.

Oddly enough the machine was working not too long ago. Then after a few games it would basically just stop and not start again. Manually pushing the delay relay or hitting a tilt switch would make it work again for a few games but now it doesn't help and doesn't start at all. I thought it was the game over relay, took a look at it, cleaned and adjusted it but changed nothing.

Any help is appreciated!

That problem has the symptoms of a stuck coin or coin switch, or a coin switch wire came off.

100% correct, found a broken wire off the score motor!
