When you say "end of game match not working", do you mean the single digit number isn't appearing on the back glass at the end of the game? Or is the number appearing on back glass, but not rewarding a replay for matching number in score reel at end of game?

The first thing I would check if the number isn't appearing on the back glass is the 0-9 unit, located in the back of the head. This 0-9 unit has a small one point bell attached to it. The match numbers work off of this 0-9 unit and this unit must be inspected with a close eye and bright light.

Make sure the tiny arrow shaped metal pointers sits and rides perfectly over these brass rivets as you manually step up the solenoid plunger by hand and check that there are are no broken wires on this 0-9 unit too, including any of the tiny jumper wires that are covered with a black thin material insulator on them. Sometimes these tiny jumper wires are broken off.

Also the brass rivets on the 0-9 unit might be worn out to point that the tiny arrow shape pointers that make contact with these brass rivets are not making contact. If so, you can rebuild these worn out brass rivets with a drop of solder on them temporarily unit you might be able to find and buy another better condition 0-9 unit. Over time the solder repair will wear out depending on how much you play your game.

This video can help you trouble-shoot and repair most issues with a Gottlieb 0-9 unit.

To help out and make things easier with your issues on your Cross Town in the future....it would be great if you can snap a few clear detailed close up pictures of your 0-9 unit so we can view and possibly spot a potential problem and in the future what ever other issues you might want help with..... attaching a video of other problems you might be having. The more information the better.

Quoted from The--Who:

Even with my limited knowledge, I knew from plugging in the 4 back glass head units correctly that the match was pin was crooked, but I just didn’t register in my head. Can’t wait to get home from work now.
On the bright side, I was talking to a customer at work this afternoon about my purchases of Cross Town and Ice Revue last week.He tells me that he has a Mibs that he is looking to get rid of for $200. He claims it works and just needs new rubber......we’ll see. Not the greatest game, but for that price I’ll buy it.

Actually, I have a (1969) Mibs in my collection for the last 15 years and is quite a good player and for sure this game keeps you wanting to play another game. The back glass animation is always a nice added feature too.

Gottlieb also made two other games with the same identical playfield design layout and back glass animation, but have different back glasses and playfield artwork. These two other games are Bowling Queen and Rack a Ball both good players too, just ask anyone who has them in their collection.

I think you will be surprised, if you do get the Mibs how much you like it. The thing about Mibs is most people tend to not like the back glass artwork and it gets put down a bit and because Bowling Queen and Rack a Ball are more the collectors choice because of their artwork, which I agree on.
