I'm trying to get a Gottlieb Mustang up and running, but I'm having trouble with the tilt hold relay energizing as soon as the game is powered on. I assume this is because a tilt switch is closed somewhere, the trouble is I am not totally clear which switch is which.

Looking at the schematic I see that there are three tilt switches and an anti-cheat switch. I don't see a reference to a bounce switch, but I may have missed it.

So I am trying to understand where I can find and identify all the tilt switches. Here are images of switches I believe are involved. Please correct me if any of these are wrong.

The first is in the light box, pretty sure this is a standard tilt switch.

The second is the switch under the playfield, pretty sure this is a standard tilt switch.

The third is the ball in groove and tilt bob. There are two switches here including the tilt bob. I am not clear how these are represented on the schematic. Are they included in the three tilt switches?

The forth is a switch in the cabinet next to the score motor. I thought this was the bounce switch, but is this a tilt switch? If so, I have other problems because the game won't start if this is open.

The fifth is on the coin door, this is the anti-cheat switch right?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

The tilt hold relay should be energized when the game is powered on? Ok, I'm clearly very new to working on EMs so can you explain why that is? Thanks
