Was in the middle of playing, and the game randomly gave me a slam tilt and I did not slam it, I swear Only happened once so far, but I do want to understand it.
I was able to find the problem on my game. I recently rebuilt the Boom Balloon assembly to clean it and install new yokes, etc, and, whoa did someone hack the switch wiring. There was a lug with no wire on it, but a huge gob of solder. Sure enough, go into switch test and engage the middle jet bumper and the left slingshot and slam tilt lights up as well. It "worked", but in multi ball when both are going, the game will slam. Doesn't happen often, but what a buzzkill when it does!
I am buying a new Boom Ballon switch and will replace it/rewire it correctly. I am hoping that fixes it!
MANY thanks to the Pinbits folks for the clue on the left slingshot. That coupled with seeing it slam last night with the Boom Balloon up made it very clear that there was an issue and made it easy to diagnose. Can't wait to report back on this one.

Quoted from chrisjens2:Just resetting but I will try manually activating each switch again and see if the slam tilt trips again.
I got my machine fixed. It was a mis-wired switch. Buying a new board won't help you. It won't fix this. You need to go into switch test and follow the advice above. I was able to find it in under 5 minutes of testing. Hold down the left slingshot and touch every other switch on the game. One of them will give you an extra slam tilt switch. That will be where you need to start looking. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
