Try cleaning all jones plugs and making sure they are making good connections.

No lamps at all? No GI or Feature?

I noticed that one jones plug on the backglass is broken in half but it looks like the pins are all fine. is that going to be ok? is there any kind of connection between pins that id need to be worried about?

Check the LOCK relay. IIRC that's the one that buzzes continuously when the game is on. Then, as suggested above, the other stuff.

The schematics show a yellow wire coming from the transformer going directly to the playfield & insert display lites. Do you see a yellow wire on the transformer? If you do, is there continuity on that wire to the lights?

Bad connection to the 6v line on the transformer, or fuse holders need replacing
