Hi,
I have a strange problem with a Gottlieb Genie. As soon as I turn the game on the soilenoids (flippers, bumpers, slings shot) are operational. Also several bonus and special lamps turn on that shouldn't be on. Game plays and scores fairly normal. The C-roll over in the top scores but the lamp stays on. Should go off after scoring. All those other lamps remain on (Special, 20K bonus, 2x bonus multiplier, Special, 1000 when lit spinner, etc. )When the game is over the flippers and other solenoids remain powered which they shouldn't. The lights listed above stay on as well.
I checked all playfield switches, they're OK. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks much
Mike

Sounds like the Q (game over) relay under the playfield might not be disengaging. Check the switch leafs to make sure they aren't mangled or adjusted improperly. Post photos if you're not sure.
