Start by picking one symptom and work on that. Here's the list from your first post.

Quoted from crujones4life:

Start button is intermittent

Quoted from crujones4life:

when the game over relay releases (sometimes on it's own sometimes not) the 100 point relay is instantly and constantly energized

Quoted from crujones4life:

flippers and pops do not work, no score switches work

For the first symptom, here's the circuit to inspect and diagnose with Alligator clip jumper wires.

By the way, the schematic from IPDB is marginal. Can somebody get me a better PDF copy?

I didn't get anything...
Oh you prob sent PDF to Howard I imagine...lol
Can you send to me too?

Thanks, oldpins for responding to my request and sending me the schematic. Unfortunately the schematic you have is exactly the same as on IPDB, here:

along with the manual and other game documents

Quoted from crujones4life:

Pressing the start button itself does nothing

If the Credit button doesn't activate the Credit relay, inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires.

Quoted from crujones4life:

what is in between the start button (where nothing happens) and the coin door micro switches

In between there's a switch on the motor and one on the Reset relay.

But that doesn't matter.

Do you know how to use Alligator clip jumper wires?
