I got a call that my Hook on location "was taking money". I had recently fixed a coin switch issue that was doing just that because the switch was starting to fail. I don't know why I expected the problem to be back, but that's just the way things felt. Show up, nope. There is a credit on the game and the start button won't start the game. Power cycle. No change. This has (rarely) happened in the past and normally a power cycle resolved it for whatever reason. I go into switch test mode, and the start button works. I press it slowly, rapidly, once, several times in a row. Never skips a beat. Back to game over state with credits on the display (and balls in the trough) and nothing. I don't get it. Helllllllllp!

Thanks for the ideas, I will look at these things.

I didn’t swap out the trough switches because while I was out of town a group went and played and it was working just fine. Since then, zero issues. Keeping an eye on it for sure though.
