sorry, didn't have the ball in when i powered it on before
i counted down all the credits before i turned it on
power on - score motor turned, ball kicked out, 1 player game lit, 1st ball lit, tilt lit

manually activated "halte" relay and tilt turned off, giving me the flippers back
manually activated "rugel ruckgabe" relay (pick up ball? maybe this means 'start') and the score motor turned over + ball kicked out

all the scores are already at 0000, so i don't know if it is resetting properly

when i drain the ball the player doesn't advance, just stays at player 1, ball 1

the "halte" relay is holding on when the game is turned on

i've found 2 slam tilt switches, one at the front and one at the back on the base
neither seems to be engaged, i.e. i can cause them to engage manually and they tilt the machine
