Spring Break won't start game or launch ball.

Hello. I am new here and just started working on a Spring Break. To my knowledge it only has one issue. The issue that I have found is that when the game is started after coins are incerted and the red button pressed, pressing the right flipper does not initiate the game and the display just says to press the flipper to start. I confirmed that the solinode to launch the balls works, since when the machine is powered on in the startup phases it trigers the launch solinode, also the test mode shots the ball and if I trigger the tilt it also works. But the board to start the game doesn't seem to get the signal that the flipper was pressed.

I have ordered a set of schematics but they aren't supposed to come in for a few weeks. Does anyone happen to have scans of the schematics so I can start working on it sooner? I feel like the wire from the right flipper to the boards may not be connected but when trying to trace the wire form it I never even found a wire going from the flipper switch to a board so I am definitly missing something. And I am not even sure if that is the problem or not but it was the only place I could think to start.

Would love any help you all can provide as I try to figure this out. Thanks!

the ball launch is activated by a switch on the upper right hand flipper .....check all the contacts on that first

Thanks, I didn't even think to look on that for a switch! I will look into that, clean the contacts and report back.
