The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard
Data East, 1994When ball is in shooter lane at start of game. Pressing right flipper causes right ramp to trigger even before ball is fired.
Repeated pressing causes repeated triggers of ramp. If played in multiball mode it gives out jackpots randomly. Any ideas?
Run a switch test and look for more switches triggering the wrong thing. Try with / without the ball in shooter lane.

Did you ever figure out what this issue is, as I just picked up a Tommy and I am Having the same issue?
JadedHesher yes I ran a switch test and when i flip the right flipper, that is the only switch which appears, to trigger, so it is weird, but once you start a game the right flipper consistently triggers the right ramp switch
Well, after making sure all switches work, lift up the playfield and start wiggling wires. See if any wires are broke, make sure connectors are seated.
If this has always been an issue then something might be wired weird. If its a new issue then maybe wiggling and seating stuff will fix it.
The only thing i could think of is the switch is wired inline with the flipper and maybe a diode busted, or something along those lines.
