Hitting any of the tune (jukebox) targets registers several other switches. Diodes test fine and lifting switch capacitors changes nothing; the CPU board tests good.

One target triggers several switches: switch blade shorting to its mount

Cause: A switch blade was touching its metal mounting bracket, connecting the matrix to the frame.

Checks

  • With power off, check continuity from each switch blade to its metal mount; there should be none.
  • Look for diode leads touching metal and for solder splashes; the fault may be on a different row or column.

Fix

  • Re-seat or insulate the blade so it can't touch the mount.
