Quoted from sparky672:

Let's say the outhole switch is telling the MPU that a ball went down the drain... then the playfield resets and play continues, UNTIL ball 3 goes down the drain, then the game is over. In other words, carefully check the outhole switch to ensure that it's not being activated by normal vibrations.

My guess is one of the playfield switches has a bad diode and is causing a phantom switch closure for the outhole.

Too bad Gottlieb documentation isn't freely available. I'd look at the switch matrix and maybe point you in the right direction.
