When i power up the machine everything seems to be working correctly, at least with the back box functions but none of game play lights are working nor are the flippers. Where do I start?

Check your fuses in the bottom of the cabinet. They are an easy target. But before going too far you should take a look at the following two resources:

http://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Gottlieb_System_1
The pinrepair site has a great video introduction to the system 1 machines as well as a video called "Power On a Gottlieb System1 Pinball for the First Time", both of which are definitely worth watching. Read them both twice and then follow the guided steps to test everything out.
I am currently working on getting my own Cleopatra up and running and the guides have been very helpful (as well as the people on this forum). I am running 95 percent at this point with two minor issues left.
Thank you for the reply! I have checked the fuses and none are blown. I will check out these links. Thank you.

What relay? I've noticed when I start up, meaning add a credit and hit the start button the game over bulb continues to flash.

yes the zero is blinking on the first display everything seems to work with game start and add game. ball gets kicked to lauch fine and the rollover switches all work up top. The pop bumpers,flippers, or any game play lights do not work.
Sounds like a problem with the under play field Q relay. Check to see if it operates when you start a game.
Do you hear the relays click when the game boots up?

So I replaced all the pins in the harness from the CPU board to the Driver board and a number of other ones that i noticed were broken or on their way out. I had the driver board unplugged for a while (waiting for the right crimper) and now I've lost a few functions that seemed to work before I recrimped.
1. I was able to add credits and start a game but with no functions controlled by the Q relay. (Flippers etc.)
2. All digital read outs showed all digits.
Now one display shows all digits, one flickers and the two others only display the same three digits.
Also I cannot add credits or start a game. Any ideas anyone?
