On the game, it will reset normally whenever I initially turn it on and start a game. I play all 5 balls then it goes into game over. I have the credit wheel contacts closed to it's on free play.
Issue is after playing 5 balls , I press the credit button and it will add a player and score moror turns for a second, but I dont get a game reset so game is dead. The SB relay doesn't drop in either. I'm stumped, any help appreciated.
Not knowing the game I would guess that the game over relay or relays has a two way set of leafs that is not isolating the power.
Do you have a schematic? If so, can you post a nice clean snippet of the relevant area? And the legend.

If the Start Relay (SB) on the relay bank doesn't trip when you do this, Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires

I also wanted to clarify that the sb relay will activate during initial start up. (The game is in tilt mode prior to initial start up) Just not after i play the first game.
Then the normally open switch on the Fist Ball relay (ZB) with a Green wire on one terminal and an Slate-Red wire on the other is probably out of adjustment.
For a switch to work 3 things are necessary:
1) When open, there should be a small space between the contact points (duh)
2) When closing, the long blade's contact point should push the short blade's contact point enough to move the short blade
3) The contact points should be clean, which they usually will be if #2 is happening
