Quoted from JCO25:

So I just played some Haunted House and Rocky and Bullwinkle for the first time in a while.
Haunted House has glitched out in the middle of a game, has happened before. I let the machine go.
After an hour, I smell smoke. Shut the machines off, let in some fresh air.
So,
1) Could it be battery leakage from a MPU board?
2) Something else in Haunted House burning?
Please help. Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks kba78

Can you remove the Backglass and inspect the boards? Pictures would help diagnose the issue possibly.

Another possibility is the pesky grounding issues of Gottlieb’s.
