Quoted from NicoVolta:

Why cut power to the score reels when the game is tilted? Tilting the game already cuts power to the score relays, so why worry about the reels?

Are you sure? Seems play field is still alive in case a ball is in a kickout hole.

I'm not going to strain my eyes with you schematic, but beside that switch on the tilt relay, how is power cut to the score reels or relays?

Quoted from HowardR:

See this schematic fragment

I see said the blind man.

If so it wouldn't be the first time they have used redundancy or switches that are pretty useless like that left lane rollover on Grand Prix.
