I've got an Atari Middle Earth table, all works well, but as soon as the ball drains, it kicks the machine into Test Mode. Any suggestions?

If I remember right, the test switch button is on the coin door on that machine. Sounds like you might have a bad switch. The vibration of the outhole kicker may be triggering it. I would disconnect the test button and see what happens.

Yeah we disconnected the test wire leading to the board, but the outhole still set it off. I don't want to have to get a new board.

Check the diode on the outhole solenoid. If it is bad it can cause strange behavior like this.
