    Hi looking for some help with a reset issue on Hot Line. Game was playing fine and then ball just won’t push through from trough. Power on game and hit start button. Game will immediately tilt upon any switch register. Ball will not kick out and game keeps cycling. The slam switch on door was corrroded horribly so it was bypassed, seems to do nothing. If I unplug the block still tilts. All the other slam tilt switches are functioning. Ideas?

    Assuming all tilt/slam tilt switches are open at startup.. Press Start button... GAME OVER relay should trip, and that trips LOCK relay and LOCK should stay closed through its own HOLD switch until end of game or tilt...

    Can you check to see whether GAME OVER relay is tripping? If it is, check that LOCK relay trips and is held in... if that sequence is working, I'd check both GAME OVER and LOCK relay switches for proper open/close operation... tighten relay switch stacks first, clean contact points.

    Report back.

    Quoted from Kmolo:

    Game will immediately tilt upon any switch

    Check this make/break.

    I agree with both comments. The Tilt and game over lights are controlled by the game over relay and the ball unit.

    Check the gap on the Game over relay and if it is pulling check the gap on the lock relay. The lock relay should pull and stay pulled during the game.

    Schematic found here https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?gid=1245

    If the lock relay isn't staying pulled that will trigger the game over relay.
