I am working on this machine and have an issue I have never seen before. All the GI lights are out until a switch is activated. They all light then but, only as long as the switch is closed. As soon as the switch is released they all go back out. Anyone have a good idea what would cause and a good place to start to fix it? I am wondering if there is a short in one of the sockets.... just not sure.

In the general illumination circuit there are only two switches in that 6 volt circuit. This would be at the lock relay switches. Check the following:

Lock relay switches (2) - yellow/brown wire and blue/red wire
6 volt side - 15 amp fuse and fuse block
Transformer lug connection - yellow wire

There could be an issue on the 50 volt side where something is causing the lock relay coil to de-energize. When you're closing one of the playfield switches, check to see if the lock relay is still being energized.

On the 50 volt side, three switches control power to the lock relay. Check the switch on the lock relay with the yellow wire and white/green wire. Make sure the switch is clean and adjusted properly.

Also, check the delay relay switch with the black/red wire and black wire...
