    Held a tournament the other night - big fun. The GI on the Blakout playfield decided to go out after lots of play. Coin door GI and backbox GI are fine. Fuses are all good. GI relay is fine game flashes as it should. I have continuity from the backbox fuse holder GI fuse to the pf GI but I am not measuring 6.3vac at the playfield GI.

    Have you checked the connector used to attach the wires to the terminals of the bridge for the GI?
    If you had a session on it this may have come loose?

    According to schematic it doesn't come off a bridge rectifier. It is 6.3vac directly off the transformer for all GIs. since the BG GI and coin door GI work the transformer is okay. 6.3vac wire off the transformer connects to the 20 amp fuse block. I have continuity from the fuse block to the pf so no short there but I am not getting 6.3vac at the pf to illuminate the GI.

    The GI relay is in the backbox - on the bottom, middle right. Did you check the joints there?

    Sorry to have mislead you, I was reading up on William's pins and obviously got something wrong.
