Quoted from orangestorm87:

fredsmythson So in theory, if I unplugged the coin mech jones plug from the base board, this should get rid of any possible coin switch problem?
rolf_martin_062 After pressing the start button with some left over scores on the reels, and some bonus, the scores and bonus reset, and then the outhole rela starts its pulsing.

Well yes if it's only doing it after the scores and bonus reset, it's trying to kick out the ball to start the game. It's not necessarily a problem in itself. Your outhole switch is likely stuck. It won't only fire once, it's going to fire itself over and over until it is sure it got the ball up and out. If the outhole switch is stuck it will loop endlessly rather than waiting for the ball to possibly roll back down into the outhole through the trough.

(They are designed to account for errors like the ball not making it all the way up the trough, and if the switch is stuck it's basically the equivalent to "oh, the ball landed in the hole again immediately, we better fire it up again and try again")
