I'm getting SO CLOSE on this playfield swap I can taste it (which may or may not be a good thing on Playboy...)
So - I have ONE LAMP that refuses to light. There seems to be some weirdness on the circuit but I can't put my finger on it. Its bulb Q27, the "6" bonus on the playfield (right in front of the right flipper..) I have an Alltek board (if that is relevant) and am using the test board to manually cycle through to the specific bulb to test.
Every other lamp works as intended on the playfield - I went through then entire loop and checked each one.
When I illuminate lamp Q27 (the # 6) I am positively getting power from the pin on the board. I can connect a test lamp to the pin on the board to the backbox ground and it illuminates as intended. However, when I try to connect from the board pin to the ground braid wire on the playfield, it's no good. I Idid try to connect in several place on the ground braid.
Running from the board pin the socket separately doesn't help either. No other lamp shows this issue.
- Yes, I did try a known good bulb
- I did check continuity on the white - blue wire from the plug in the backbox to the socket on the PF and we're good there.
I'm not sure where else to go on this. Like I said, every other light works fine. I'm not sure if i'm missing some test but I can't think of what's missing here.
