I'm running out of ideas trying to trace this short down, so I wonder if anyone here has any Indy-specific advice on where to look. I feel like I've looked everywhere five times already, but who knows what I overlooked or is hiding in plain sight.

My wife demonstrates how easy the short is to trigger and clear, just raising/lowering the playfield half an inch does it:

I've actually been able to clear it by just raising the playfield a barely perceptible fraction of an inch, never mind half an inch. So you'd think the culprit would be in plain sight, but it isn't as far as I could tell. Or it is, but I'm just not seeing it.

Also got this while playing/troubleshooting last night: "Check Switch 45 Center Enter"

That's behind the 3 drop bank to lock balls in the Totem. Any idea here? It still seems to recognize locks and sends balls to the Totem, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, seems like it's something *just barely* pinched or touching metal, most likely around the coin door/front portion of the cabinet, but it's hard to find good viewing angles when the playfield is down and the short is active. It's really like a needle in a haystack at this point.

Technically, 19 in my first year, as I have a Gilligan's Island on a long and lazy journey across the country thanks to STI/Beltmann, which is starting to resemble the actual journey of the SS Minnow. I've been playing for decades and dreaming about owning machines for just as long but never had the money or space, and finally in year 46/47 of life, my number came up, so to speak, and I couldn't contain myself. (I actually have an account here that's 8 years old, it just became inactive and I forgot the password).

And a shoutout to Jersey City! Lived there twice in my life, along with Hoboken for a while.

It's actually row 6 that's shorted, white/blue wire, which covers 8 or 10 different components (right pop, N rollover, upper right orbit switch, left return, etc.) and I've looked at each one of them a few times. I just had that test screen on in the video since it was an easy way to demonstrate the short triggering on slightly bumping the playfield.

January and February are just low spending months across the board from consumers, businesses, everyone. If you don't have a need of the money/space right way, personally I'd relist it at $7500 in April, tax refund season.
