Playing the game, it just resets. Makes a loud noise similar to what chill with you but then reboots completely. Doesn't wipe out my game credits. I have tested the top mechanism and it is not the same. Overall the machine works extremely well. I have looked for loose wires, not saying anything obvious. Does it while playing the game on single or multiple players. Been tracking play field activity to see if it was tied to particular action All original boards in the back, but seem to be in very good shape. Any thoughts?

Slam tilt?
There are at least two tilt switches which will cause the machine to make a Woo-woo-Woo-woo sound and reboot the machine. One switch is on the coin door, and another switch is near the plumb bob and ball roll tilts (left side of the cabinet). Might be more of them, sometimes playfields also have slam switches (check a schematic or look at the game). The cabinet slam tilt switch has a weight on one of the blades, so it tends to bob around when the machine gets rockin.
