Hello to all!

Im working on a new project and as the title says, I have no lights on the back box nor chimes. This is what I have checked:

- Fuse holders (next to tilt mech) are clean and tight, new fuses,
- Jones plugs (next to tilt mech) were cleaned and sanded (no burnt connector)
- Jones plugs at the back box and at the main board were cleaned and sanded

One thing that I noticed though. When I turned on the machine after being unplugged for about 2-3 weeks, the back box lights came up, very dim though. I will start a game and by each flipping at the flipper, the light will lit stronger (normal brightness) but it will come dim (flip=normal brightness, release flipper=dim)

Any ideas?

Also, before a game I will manually move the reels for all 4 players to any number. I will start a game and the reels will reset as expected, but no scoring will be made during a game, the score motor does work, I will manually hit targets and I can see the score motor turn but no chimes nor the scores reels will move.

Other idea?

Thanks to all in advance!
