I'm seeing this on 2 different EM pins I own, Gulf Stream and Super Star. Thinking it's likely something reasonably simple. At the end of a game, the lights for "Game Over" are not coming on. Would appreciate a few pointers for places to start checking.

Also, Super Star's backbox GI decided to go out. You can see the lights occasionally flash while playing a game, but they won't stay on.

Thanks for the help!

Check the top switch on the Game Over Relay:

For the display lights, clean the jones plugs and ensure they are well seated. Look for any loose wires. You may try to jumper the GI from the brown 6V source to see where the flakiness lies:

Do the other lights on that part of the schematic work reliably? In particular the ball lites. If not, ensure the fuse holder is clean and the fuse well seated. Also check the switch on the lock relay as shown in the schematic.
