So the strobe wasn't working...you replaced the strobe lamp...and it still doesn't work...right?
Most of the time, if the problem isn't the lamp, it's the strobe lamp board which is under the metal box screwed to the rear backboard of the playfield.
With game off...
Remove the board. Examine...
...caps for bulging or fractured lead.
...one of the three small wires broken from the small transformer on the board.
...failed SCR.
PinBits sells a rehab kit for the board. Highly recommended.
I can also repair the board for you, and test it in my AFM. Let me know if I can help.

Not knowing if it ever worked: I'll ask the question, is there a cable connected to it? I purchased a routed AFM in 2003 and it was missing the cable to the strobe. Pinbits created one for me, they were amazing!
