Game was playing fine, then on the stat of the next game, it went right to Tilt. Now when you turn it on it just goes to tilt. Any help appreciated.

Look carefully at the tilt mech and see if anything is causing a short. Follow the wires.

Also, is there a capacitor on the switch? If so, perhaps try replacing it if there is nothing else obvious.

Is this the SS version of the game? My SS Joker Poker periodically has a tilt gremlin. It randomly starts in tilts sometimes. Usually a couple of flips on the on/off switch and I am back in business. I have been unable to eliminate it completely. Here is a link to the topic -

Quoted from Nokoro:

is there a capacitor on the switch?

I've seen this more than once. Cut one lead on the cap and see if it goes away. If it does put a new cap on the tilt switch.

Don't these have a few normally closed slam tilt switches that cause a problem? You can try bridging the wires with an alligator clip and see if you can narrow it down to which is causing ther issue.
