    My father-in-law purchased a Bally 4 Queens pinball machine last night. It was working perfect upon inspection. Sometime between lifting the machine out of a basement, driving it home, and then lifting it into another basement something changed. Now when the power switch is turned on there is a loud buzzing and nothing lights up or works. I’m not real good with electronics, but it seems to me that the transformer may have gone bad. Any help
    Would be appreciated.

    The buzz may or may not be the reason the machine won’t turn on.

    The first thing I would check is the connections that were disconnected for transport. Did everything get reinstalled correctly?

    Usually there are Jones plugs that go from the cabinet to the head of the machine. Make sure they are plugged in, and the wire colors match from cabinet to head.
