What do you mean by reset? Does the ball end and go on to the next ball? Does the game end? Or does the whole pin reboot?

Is there a slam tilt switch in the game? If you trigger that switch, does it end in the same way? Just wondering if the slings are triggering the slam tilt in some fashion.

Ok but does it do the same thing if you trigger the slam tilt? Even if the switch is open, perhaps something is causing it to trigger like a short.

I guess I’m just trying to figure out if they weren’t soldered closed, would a slam tilt cause the X’s to display. I’m trying to narrow things down. I don’t know a lot about Gottliebs. I’m trying to figure out if there is a normal cause for that reset and then work backwards from there to figure out why the slingshot is having the same effect.

Here’s some other info I found that might help:
