Me again. Sorry to bother you folks again but I've been in the middle of trying to solve my last problem with this machine when another issue keeps coming and going. I will play a perfectly normal game with this machine then turn it off. When I turn it back on and hit the button in the front which normally starts it up nothing happens. I will then press the left flipper button and the game comes on with everything lit but the TILT is lit up and nothing else happens. Makes no sense. In the past I have opened up the machine and re seated some connector plugs near the front then it seemed to work but I'm not sure this is the culprit as I just did it a bunch of times and nothing is happening. Any help would sure be appreciated. None of the TILT switches have issues by the way.

That's why this forum is here! Well, this is utterly weird: no Tilt relay? Any rate, check the sw. D on the Lock relay and that Game Over sw. on the schematic.

The tilt light is tied to the position of the BALL COUNT UNIT according to the schematic. No tilt relay--pretty interesting!

I manually clicked the ball count unit to the position it would be in when your game is over as the TILT light went off and the GAME OVER is lit up. I turn the machine off then turn the power switch back on again. I hit the button in the front and still nothing happens. I press the left flipper button the the machine lights up says GAME OVER still but it won't do anything else. I'm so confused. Anyone have any suggestions?

If the Credit Button switch on the front doesn't activate the Coin relay, Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires
