i think i might have figured my problem out and i kinda feel like an idiot. something i forgot to mention is that i haven't played mine yet because there's a lot i want to do to it before give it a go (clean, repaint, and wax the playfield; new rubbers, ball and lights) which has taken longer than i thought (hard time finding enamel paints, balls got lost in mail, sent me some of the wrong rubbers). this means every time i've turned it on, it's been in stand by mode.
while testing and changing out all the 44 lamps, i found out that the test for 67s are under the solenoid menu for some odd reason. several were burnt out, but a lot worked when i tested them. i'm guessing that maybe they don't turn on until a game is actually playing. i'll confirm when i get it up and going, which again might be awhile due being on vacation next week. can't wait to finally get it going though!
