Hello, When I power on the game and press the replay switch in the door, I can't get the game to start. I have credits on credit wheel, the backbox lights up, the tilt and game over lights illuminate. I checked with my meter and have no power going to the start relay when I press the door button. I have gone thru the game for misaligned switches and have corrected the few I found. Any ideas?

First thing to do is confirm that you have 25 VAC for the coils. An easy way to do that is to turn the score motor cam counter-clockwise a few degrees until it is out of the home position. At that point the motor should fire up and run the cam to the next home position.

If the score motor doesn't run, check the 25 VAC fuse and fuse holder and make sure all is well there.

Found the problem on this one. Before I got the machine apparently someone had replaced the two place coin door with a three place coin door. The Jones plug was identical and looked correct. I replaced the three place wiring harness with a two place and it worked great.
