Ok.. so I sold a Gottlieb drop a card I owned for a couple years. The guy who bought it is a non collector a couple hours away. and when he got it home it didn't work. I know it's a private sale and it worked when it left but i dont want to screw anyone so I drove out and spent some time in it. Couple things must have shifted In transport because I found a few things I adjusted and it's good except for one major issue. When you push the start button it resets correctly but when the reset finishes 9 times out of 10 the game over relay trips rather than spitting out ball one.

I had that issue when I owned it but it was maybe 1 out of 20 times it would do it.

If I open it up and flip the relay bank reset bar by hand it almost never trips the game over relay. Yet the start button does it almost always. I'm here till sat night. Really hoping for some ideas that might make this game playable before I head home.

Thx guys.

Hmmm... possible I guess. There’s a lot of coils that fire on reset so it’s a fairly “violent” reset. I don’t think the tilt bob is contacting... cause the it goes to game over and not tilt but it’s possible. I’ll try to check it out.

Thanks. I’m in town for a few more hours so I’ll gladly take any other suggestions.

Any idea where all the slam switches are?

There’s one by the score motor. One under the playfield. One by the tilt bob. And I’m sure there’s one on the coin door but I don’t have it in front of me.

Appreciate the heads up. I checked them all. All the tilt switches are good. Even tested them open and closed.

Could something on the tilt relay trip it. I recorded a video on you tube with the notion to post it here. Notice on the video a spark on the tilt relay just before the game over trips.

Sorry for some reason there’s no audio.
