Boomerang
Bally, 1974Hi again ,
I have a bally boomerang that works 100% except for the playfield lighting . The lights in the head are working fine .
Checked the circuit and the fuses , lock relays is working and contacts are clean .
Checked and cleaned the connectors so I'm currently stuck.

Fuse block / 15 amp fuse - yellow/brown wire and blue/red wire
Lock relay switch - blue/red wire and blue wire
Playfield Jones plug - blue wire
Check if the fuse in the fuse block is tight. Check the switch and plug again to make sure they are clean. Plug should be seated tightly. Check if there is 6 volt power at the fuse block, the lock relay switch and the Jones plug.
If all of these check out okay, then there is a break in the circuit leading to the playfield lights.

If I measure on the fuse block I get around 40 volts on that wire .
Lights aren't burnt out
