Quoted from Duder8181:Hi All,
I recently picked up a Race-way pinball machine at an antique store in Michigan, and I am hoping that someone can help me identify the cabinet that came with it... My goal is to do a proper restoration, but there are a few unusual aspects about it that I hope to understand before I dig in.Hopefully one of you can help me out here... I know that this is a pretty rare game, and I don't want to mess anything up! Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I can tell you something about your game that you might not know:
You have what Midway called a Two-Tilt game versus the typical Raceway One-Tilt game. I have one just like yours and have been researching it for a long time.
Your relay layout and wiring is not a typical Raceway. It does not match a Raceway electrical schematic. Rather it matches a Champ schematic.
You have a TILT relay and two extra relays called "Car1 Game Over" and "Car2 Game Over". That is a Champ layout and makes the game a Two-Tilt game. Midway calls the Champ a Two-Tilt game on their schematic.
The typical Raceway game does not have a TILT relay but rather a Game Over relay in its' place. It also does not have the other two extra Game Over relays.
When a typical Raceway is tilted by one player it ends the game for both according to the schematic. One-Tilt.
When a Champ wired Raceway is tilted by one player only that player gets Game Over and the other player continues to their game end. What Midway called Two-Tilt.
It seems that Midway started the Two-Tilt Raceway layout late in the production and it overlapped the Champ production.
I do not think they ever made a schematic for the Raceway with the Two-Tilt layout so you have to use a Champ schematic.
So far I have identified 3 Raceways with this Two-Tilt configuration.
