Can't seem to figure this issue out. My F-14 Tomcat plays perfectly. No issues at all until I lock all the balls and get mulitball. Once the Multiball releases (and the game says "here they come") the game stops and the flippers don't work and it is almost like a tilt. It also ends the game so you have to start an entirely new game. This just started happening. Any ideas on where to start??? Only happens in multiball and it is right after the balls get released. Can't even play any of the balls as it shuts down the flippers and then ends the game

It sounds like one of the locks might have a bad diode and this is restarting the mpu when it attempts to kick. Put the machine in solenoid test and see if it reboots on any of the solenoids. If it does replace the diode on that coil

try a new or rebuilt power supply.. make sure connections to power supply are clean, no burns.
