When pressing switch test on a 78 Bally Playboy the player one display shows “327 1” and credit shows “07”.

How should I interpret that? When a game is started the January target immediately is triggered (light goes on) and scores continuously so the switch is stuck on. The January target is switch 27 so I figure the 27 in 327 refers to that. But what do the other numbers indicate?

The boards in the game are original, not Alltek. I wasn’t expecting the results I saw based on what’s in the manual but got confused when I saw the 27 after the first press of the test switch.

My first thought was a short after something vibrated since the game was working properly before I put the game on a lift and moved it to another room and set it down. Had the game almost 20 years; first time I ever needed to use the test switch
