Space Mission
Williams, 1976I notice that my lock relay looks really weird and its coinciding with the machine making a weird noise when its powered on and either in game state or without a game started

The lock relay looks like this and the plastic connector where the solder points go on is loose.
1. Can this be causing this issue
2. Can someone take a picture of their lock relay and share please?
Thanks in advance

Certainly sounds like its not making a clean contact. Its not clear from the photo or video if its broken in anyway - it looks a little funky at the bottom left of the above photo. If there is any mechanical fault/break, it can vibrate and make that noise.
Replacements are cheap at pbr, someone may even just have one lying around - check the thread https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-em-seeking-parts-thread/page/170#post-6700640
