I've had my Foo premium since last June and it's played flawlessly until yesterday, the day I hosted a league meet 
. In practice while I was playing it the shot sounds stopped playing, then SLAM TILT followed by a full reset. l played again straight after, same again. Now in December/January I replaced 8 x GI lamp sockets that had just exploded so my first call was to lift the playfield and look for a short off any GI socket, straight away found 2 more just fallen apart! FFS Stern quality at its best! I don't think either of these sockets were causing the problem but taped up the loose GI connections anyway. A few games later it slam tilted and reset again so it was turned off for the day. Has anyone else had this issue? I don't think it's an actual slam tilt, there is no slam tilt switch. Also the machine went a bit wonky for about 10 seconds with loss of sounds before the slam tilt message. If the GI lamps falling apart did cause a short I believe the result is normally a message about a short on whichever string is affected, not a slam tilt. There's a thread on pinside about the same issue with no conclusions reached ( a few people have had it happen ).

). The next day and for a few weeks it was fine then it went downhill rapidly. Basically when playing the insert lamps would freeze and switches would stop registering. I could still flip the ball around but nothing registered then after a few seconds the lamps and switches would come back. Sometimes the sound would start playing up. The stuff on the display always worked fine.
