The usual rule is, you messed with something, now it doesn't work, go back to what you messed with, but in this case, that's going to take awhile.
You have the bane of EMs. The switch that appears to be making but really isn't. Without the schematic no way to know what you're looking at here.
Quoted from Jakers:Lesson learned: DON'T CLEAN SWITCHES THAT WORK CORRECTLY. haha
After digging into it for a minute, I started with activating the tilt relay coil by hand a few times. The game has played fine for about 10 straight games after that. Sweet! Now I just have to figure out why the scores don't fully reset when starting a new game. They turn over 3 digits then it kicks the ball into the shooter lane.
That's usually zero position switches on the score reels, but hey, I don't know if you messed with those or not. But something is telling the game that reset is complete, so that's a starting point.
