We found 6 broken switches during the checkup: Left Visor; ramp down, left outlane, shooter switch, RS Bank, Top Jet. Some checking up to do! Hopefully cleaning the contacts will be sufficient...
i'm still following the progress on your "evil" pin°bot machine. i guess cleaning the contacts won't help much. check the very last page of the manual and you will see that those switches are all on the same row. there is a white/yellow wire that should connect right coin chute, left outlane, shooter lane, left visor target, right 5 bank, ramp down, top jet bumper, 10 point (those contact leafs behind rubber either below the bumpers or besides the ramp). check the continuity of this wire, maybe it just has no contact somewhere. the best would be to use a continuity tester attached to IJ10 pin 6 in the backbox (that's where the white/yellow wire leads to) and check the contacts with the test lead under the playfield. also make a closeup photo of the burnt parts you replaced on the mainboard, maybe that's where the problem comes from.
When I entered the comment box at the meanwhile repaired video links entry I for the first time encountered the evilness of the project. But now I am treated on the 'veward' code, which does not sound that bad... Question: solenoids are some kind of relay switches, thus when there is physical friction they tend to overheat. But in your last post (I'll try to keep it as positive as possible) you refer to 'the broken ramp', of which I am not certain that it is solenoid driven, might be a servo motor or something? But I gather you have much more overview over the subject. Wish you all the luck anyway!

We fixed the ramp already. It was a loose wire.
