sharpshooter.. making progress, stuck switch affect all gameplay?

I posted before about not being able to play a game long before everything stops working (no points, solenoids or flippers). I have run through the diagnostics and manually hit each switch. I think that i am on to something with the drop targets..

er... nevermind.. i was just being stupid.. Still looking for the cause of the playfield just dying soon after ball launch.

sharpshooter... found the problem

Gotta love when something frustrates you to the point of doing nothing but sitting in the same room as the game and just staring at it.

i was thinking what the heck would cause the game to just stop working when playing, almost acting like it was tilting..

well.... it was tilting!! the pendulum on the tilt circut isnt centered and is about 1/16 away from the edge.. so after a few bumpers and flippers, then damn thing was tilting. i unplugged it and just ran a few test games through it - no more problems..

now i am on the hunt to find the parts i need (rubbers, posts, bulbs), to be able to restore the playfield. having it playable by thanksgiving (with a restored playfield) is definitely in site..
