The fuse holders appear fine but do you have the correct voltage on both ends? Tried wiggling the playfield connectors?

Quoted from currieddog:Does something actually run thru the Delay relay?

What do you mean?
If you're getting 0v on ones you know work then you must be measuring wrong. One lead should be I'm the yellow common wire from the transformer
The alternator controls the pop bumper and lane lights. It should be engaged half the time, alternating when you hit 10 point switches like the side rubbers up top.
Quoted from ChipS:The thing is I'm not playing the game. I have the playfield up and was just checking the light situation. I should add that the buzzing from the relay isn't new - has been happening intermittently as I've been figuring out the playfield light issue. I've yet to play even a single ball. Just fired it up, knocked down the targets with my finger - that's how I noticed they weren't resetting properly.
I've been searching other posts - most seem to suggest buzzing comes from something loose in the relay, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it.
Any ideas about the drop target(s) dropping upon reset?
If you start a game there's a 50/50 chance that the alternator will be active. Buzzing can come from misadjusted switches putting too much pressure away for the coil, or from the coil / plate being worn
