So, apparently the MPU is not at fault because it does not have the capability to only have one inoperative switch 
I was told by KS Arcade that it is going to be a playfield or wiring issue! Any ideas on why the dip switches may not be working? For example, I can’t turn on my matching feature?
Well now we have it running perfectly! Except you have to hit the test button on the sound board to fix the sound issue every time you turn it on. Any ideas?!
Looks like hitting the test button on the sound board manually resets the board. The voltage from the MPU to the sound board is the issue?
Quoted from chuckwurt:Yeah and I don’t think you can get them too long. It would just go down into the cabinet more.
Story of my life.
I have found the sounds issue! Pin 24 of the 24-pin connector is broken! Is this the correct replacement? https://www.docentelectronics.com/httpdocs/AmusementGames/Pinball/Gottlieb/System%20One.htm
Hey so it turns out that the head bolt size is a little too thick. Any other size suggestions? Thanks!

Take the current head bolt you have to the hardware store and get something a tad smaller.

That’s true haha they’re pretty cheap so I’ll probably buy a few sizes. Thanks

Not home to confirm, but pretty sure they are 3/8 x 16 course threads. This table may help.

Thanks! I may go with 5/16ths because the current bolts are just too large

It appears the “10” insert light is out. I have discovered that there is indeed continuity from the socket to the driver board in the backbox. The driver board is a new Rottendog board. Any ideas?! Thanks

Bad socket or transistor at the driver board. And yes the rottendog could be bad even though it’s new. Haha.

Thanks, man! I’ll have have to test the transistor haha.

That yours?! chuckwurt and I are part of the Diamond Lady movement and we need to recruit, man haha
Quoted from Pinball-DOOD:That yours?!
I am currently its guardian. Long story short... it has been in storage for many years... the owner said shop it out and and enjoy it as long as I want. Can do! Crazy how addicting this game is.

Dude it is! It’s so dang difficult, with a deep ruleset. Many ways to rack up a score! That is awesome!
I wish the multiplier was a playfield multiplier and not just a bonus multiplier. That and the left ramp is pointless. Other than that, I like the game a lot too.
Getting a big jackpot hurry up collect Never gets old.

For sure. Don’t you collect that jackpot on the left ramp though? When you light it?

It’s worth maybe 300k. That might as well be zero. Haha

Haha true 
So I have ruled out that it is a connection issue for the sounds reset. Followed the wire all throughout the board and got nothing. Could it be the Swemmer MPU is not sending the reset?
