Just got my first EM. A Gottlieb Volley. Working well but none of the lights in that backbox come on. Any ideas? Where do I start?

So I examined the fuse, it looked ok. I removed it and put it back. Unplugged all the Jones plugs and plugged them back in. Miracle... it worked. For a few days.
Now they are out again and the unplug/replug everything doesn't seem to do the trick. Any other ideas what to check? Is there a way to get the schematic for this game somewhere?
That’s fair but also it started working and went back out which seems unlikely to be the fuse

Quoted from AlexF:Clean the jones plugs good. Probably a flaky connection.
Thanks. Best method? Just a wire brush to the male end?

Yep. That's what I do. Don't have to go crazy just knock down any oxidation. Usually does the trick.
