>>the kicker from the bottom playfield to the top playfield does not work either. Has a new coil in it & switches for it were cleaned and tested to work.>>
Start test #16 (lamps and coils test) in the diagnostics and see if the tube kicker coil fires along with the others. (The solenoids-only test #17 includes this coil in the manual but it is incorrect.) If doesn't fire it may be the under-playfield driver transistor for that coil is bad or a soldered wire has come loose from the transistor.
