Quoted from Mttw:Could a bad hold relay cause the tilt hold relay to not engage? I have used the pin repair guide and fixed the tilt/ hold, game over and first ball relays. I noticed a hum coming from R (hold relay) and it was also burnt up.
Hold and tilt relays that are on continuously often burn up after 40 or 50 years. Think about how long they were on when they were in an arcade setting. 12-16 hours A-day possibly. I end up replacing them quite often. Pretty standard for a refurbish-restoration.
