Centigrade 37
Gottlieb, 1977The title says it all. The game works perfectly, except it always goes immediately to Game Over when the kickout hole is hit.
I've checked all the relay leaf switches for proper make/break, twice now. So I'm reasonably confident those are ok. Since the kickout hole requires the score motor to run I think the problem might be there, but it runs fine otherwise. I'm officially over my head with EMs on this one.
Any advice?
Quoted from John_I:If you don't hit the kickout hole, will it play a full game of either 3 or 5 balls? When the game ends do the playfield GI lights stay on? If not, it might be a slam tilt switch causing the problem.
It plays normally in all respects, except the kickout hole. The playfield lights do stay on when the game ends.
I had the same thought: I went through all the tilt switches several times.
Quoted from brundaged:This turned out to be an intermittent connection on one of the Hold Relay switches, so my original assumptions were incorrect.
Thanks for getting back to answer this thread. I was wondering what the answer would be!
