when you say not registering correctly, did you go into switch test and check them individually?
Do you get the correct switch numbers for each switch when it is down?
Or is the drop target down and you don't get it to register? sometimes they need cleaning.
I have similar problems with my Solar fire. The drop switches need some cleaning from time to time. I have contemplated changing them out for microswitches, just have not gotten around to it.,..
if the drop targets are not falling crisply you will need to disassemble and clean the plastic runners, brass leaf spring and the zinc plated bars that the brass leaf spring rides on. But if they drop crisply it's probably the leaf switches need the 100 dollar bill trick (ask vid). (Or, i'm Cheap, I just use an old business card)

Quoted from frunch:Does anyone have pics of this area from their game? I'm trying to figure out what was supposed to go in the spot to the right of the hidden tomb ball kicker. There's a big enough opening to the right of it that the ball could possibly sneak through and get lost there. There's a couple screw holes in the area so I presume something was there at some point. I'll probably make up a little guide to close off the area, I'm just curious what is supposed to be there from the factory.
Thanks!

I looked at my photos and didn't find one of that. I recall it was small wire rail. I think....
Yeah i was looking through my PF swap photos and i have about 200 photos of the bottom and like 6 of the top. What was i thinking...

Quoted from Cudaman:Does anyone know what this part it and where it goes? It was in the bottom of the cabinet of my Pharaoh and I can't find an obvious location for it to go.

Check the switch in the tomb. If the game did something, like played a sound I’d think coil. But since it doesn’t do anything I’d think switch.
Quoted from LeMansFan:Thank you for the quick answer, I appreciate it.
Am I able to run a switch test through the menus, and will that tell me if it's working or not? Or am I physically inspecting the switch to see if there's something telling me that it's not working properly and needs to be replaced?
Go into switch test.("Switch edges" if it has it.). Test the slaves tomb switch with a ball. See if it registers. it probably will not.
If it does not register, you need to (turn machine off) look at the switch physically and see what is going on:
It could be just dirty. Has it been un-played for a while? Clean the contacts by running a business card between the contacts while you hold them together.
It could have a broken wire. ( there should be two different color wires[ possibly multiples of each] going to it and a diode) All connected?
It could be a bent wire actuator, Again use the ball and check that it causes the contacts to close. ( and wipe against each other slightly)
If it does register in switch test, then move on from the switch. it is coil related.
But since you say it does nothing, it makes me think you have a switch problem.
Report back please.
