Tilt light is operational.  The machine isn't going into Tilt mode when it dies - the game can be resurrected by pressing one of the white relay tabs where the contacts poke through.  So when this does happen, the actual game that was being played is still alive.

I still have all lights working when the machine dies, just lose power to all the coils and scoring.

Checked the machine last night and again this morning and it won't start up a game, the best I can get it to do is kick out a ball but again, no flippers or scoring.

I also noticed I am getting tingles from alot of the metal parts this morning.

Something I am going to replace today - this machine has a 25 micro farad capacitor in the back box.  I'm not sure if all EMs have this but I noted that it was something new to Jacks Open.  I put the DMM on it last night and when I tried to boot up a game, the reading peaked out at 0.1?? but I can't get a reading with the machine under load.  The cap looks to be original or if it's not, it hasn't been replaced for a very long time.  I am assuming that I should replace it with a cap of the same value?

I have checked all the til switches again and they all operate as they should.  If I press the start button and then activate the various tilt switches, the machine tilts and stops as it should.
