please excuse my ignorance......... I have enjoyed fixing all the little things that it has taken to keep my Bride of Pinbot running but I have finally come up against something that is beyond my capability to figure out. one of the slingshot coils is staying on which I assume is because it is getting a constant stream of power. It does this as soon as the machine is turned on, The leaf switches are not making contact. I guess I want some guidance on what could be causing this and what I should do. Would it be a bad switch, a coil or something further upstream like a circuit board. Can I fix this myself or is it time to call in a repair person?
thanks

this would be on the very large circuit board bottom right that has most of the fuses on it?

Just a little update, I took the board to John Freel at Elkhart Pinball. He quickly tested the board, found the problem, and replaced the transistor while I waited and at a very reasonable price (plus I got to play one of his beautifully restored machines while I waited) The Bride is back up and running and I am very pleased with John and his excellent service.
