During play my flippers went dead and most of the play field. Some lights are on and four that don't make me happy spell "TILT". I turned the machine off and on and no sound, limited lights and TILT. I have the manual and looked in troubleshooting but nothing addresses this particular failure. Does anybody have any suggestions to save the day on what's supposed to be a rainy weekend? Please help, I'm new to this forum but I hope someone out there can suggest something.

The tilt bob doesn't look out of place. I didn't shake it on any of the balls that played before the machine went TILT. I'll check the slam tilt switches.
Shoot I don't know what I'm looking at. Is the slam tilt supposed to be touching the door? I saw a connector by the tilt bob that looked like it might have been touching the tilt bob so I tied that off and still when I start the machine, no sound, few lights and TILT. Dammit Janet.

Todd, what do you mean cut the capacitor off? Are you talking about the capacitor near the tilt bob or the slam tilt? I'm not really familiar with the guts of this machine. I've done minor maintenance like fixing broken Thumper Bumper Caps and Flipper Rubbers but capacitors are over my head in knowledge.
I just got back from the beach and see our Wings got shellacked in a big way by the damn Penguins. Dang it, no pinball and most likely no playoffs.

Right here?

I looked at the tilt switch on the side of the machine by the tilt itself and I don't see that either. I see this wire. Will cutting that help me out?
