Chad I checked the coils bro, chill. Give me some better advice other than "touching" stuff aight?

Dont pout now though, I still need your help.

Anyway the heating issue didnt surface on the newly swapped out PSB so that took care of that....now its time for issues a bit more complex.

I kept getting "searching for 6 balls" for no good reason, I swap out CPU boards & the problem goes away. Only thing is a new issue surfaces. When the playfield is up every switch works independently but when I set it down certain switches trigger a slew (4) of other ones that are not even in the same line.

So when I rest the PF down I get issues, up = none....for the life of me I cannot find a reason for this (meaning I dont see a pile of exposed wires hitting other exposed wires.

I just want to get drunk & play pinball.

F!

Wow, toolbag alert.

The test we gave you was a pretty reliable one for burning coils.  It's not always about readings and measurements.  There are faster ways to do certain things.

Obviously something is getting kinked, snagged, or pushed down on via gravity when the table is down. Time to get drunk, and start inspecting the pin closely. ;)
