I recently bought a Flash Gordon and noticed the grey w/black stripe wire was free and it looked like it had been cut. I figured it went to the screw on the tilt assembly bottom with the capacitor so I verified with my Xenon. I then soldered it back and the game booted up fine but as soon as I hit the start button, it tilts before ball is served to the shooter lane. Once I cut the wire loose again, the game goes back to playing fine.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

assuming you have the wires right - either the tilt bob, the cage or the cap is shorted. try with the cap removed
