Quoted from practicalsteve:
I want to add that looking at the switch with the problem it looked perfectly adjusted. I never would have realized it needed cleaning and adjusting without using the schematic and the jumper.
sadly, this will not be the only time that this happens... 
the dreaded "switch that looks like it is making when it really isn't" glitch... 
but now you know how to read the schematic, and how to isolate "breaks" in circuits... a good learning day! 
Quoted from Wickerman2:
Nice...love the simple solutions. So is it 100% now?
so far so good! Played a dozen games and working fantastic. Well, one of the slingshots its jackrabbiting occasionally so I need to adjust that, and the angle of the flippers needs an adjustment, so lets say its 99.99999%

Awesome! Let the fine tuning begin!

was I more or less correct with my very basic explanation above on how to diagnose with jumper wires?
More or less.
