Which switches are not in the switch matrix
The matrix is 8 columns by 8 rows, up to 64 switches. Outside it are the coin door Auto-up/Manual-down and Advance switches and the six special solenoid trigger switches (pop bumper skirts and slingshot switches). Pops and slings also have a scoring switch that is in the matrix. The flipper relay and special solenoids are active during the switch test.
