Well I am trying to narrow down this issue on my TOM. If anybody has had this issue please chime in. I have the Dreaded Secret Ball Lock! Randomly my tom will trigger the Secret ball lock with the guy falling down the stairs. It happens even without a ball falling down the trunk. it then gets confused and Ball locks are screwed up. Also Multi ball is acting weird and triggering with other modes going. I have checked all switches and trunk is turning ok.
I have not been looking at voltage yet. I did reseat Rom's. Any help would be great.

We had this happen and it was switch 35. On our game it was the transmitter and receiver optos under the playfield on either side of the trunk. Lloyd and other folks helped us figure it out, hope it works for you..!

put your game in switch test mode, turn the volume up and just let it sit there for awhile. go grab a beer and surf the net and keep an ear out to see if you have some opto[s] closing occasionally. your problem sounds like flaky optos to me.

Ok, as far as I can tell it is fixed. Checked all optos and they were working. Although I believe the opto transmitter in the trunk had a stripped screw. So with things banging around the opto moved enough to register the secret ball lock. I made shure it was lined up and now screwed down tight. We are back in business.
Thanks
