EM question ref coil

[PinballDaze]

Hi,

Had a look at two EM pinballs from 1978 and 1967 recently (both not fully working - no suprise) and noticed that both had the Game Over relay held shut by insulated wire. I know this coil burns up due to it being energised most of the time but..............surely it must de-energised at some point to re-start the game?? Not keen on fixing these but they are popping up more frequently.

If like laters Gotts thats what turns off flipper power

If it's the one I think you mean then it provides instant tilt, hence the "game over" relay...
