Let There be Light

General Illumination Problem

On a recently acquired pin I had a few issues to sort out before I could enjoy the game.
One of them was the GI lights were 75% faulty with only the top left functioning correctly.




The bulbs were all good. The wiring had good continuity. The fuses and the board connectors proved good, the power board was removed to check the traces diodes and transistors... all good.

C'mon problem....... show yourself !!!!!!.





I then raised the playfield and there on the main connector block adjacent to the transformer and under other cabling was the culprit. Identified showing itself in the form of a loose wire which had been arcing and burnt away. Connection was duly made good ...

Ahhhhh...let there be light...... it feels so..oh good

My reward ??? Time to battle KHAN and his Mongol Hordes.......

Yes, Pinion already upgraded to brass by previous owner and as everything else working like a good-un....... plays super-fast..... you can really make this pin hyper-sing with loops n ramps... the use of the magnet is super cool. Thanks for the offer of availability...much appreciated.
