Quoted from Ronnie1114:I'm talking about the small blue thing above the power board.
Those are tantulum capacitors that go to the 5 volt regulator. Quite possible your regulator is shot (lm323k I think is the part) . if they smoked they are bad. What I typically do with a new machine is unplug all of the connectors on the power supply and then turn on a measure the voltages. Of course if the regulator was bad , you would still get smoke 
Great find! I love my cyclopes.
Quoted from Ronnie1114:Wow. Thanks for the info. Any guess on where to get one?
You can get them at digikey or mouser or bob roberts. Do you happen to have a meter? If so I would test out the regulator first. Do you know when the machine last worked?
Quoted from Ronnie1114:Looking online it looks like my game has different colored drops and decals. They look very factory to me as the decals are the same font used as the ones on the game pictured with white drops and different colored decals.
Glad to hear you are making progress!
As far as the drops. The originals are supposed to be white (bought a NOS populated playfield from Pacak a long time ago). They are pretty much impossible to find GamePlan white drop targets. You can take old gottlieb ones and make them work (I have some new gottliebs for backups).
As far as the grey bumper caps, they are really hard to find. You may just want to take a normal cap and spray paint. I did find an original grey bumper cap at Expo a couple years ago at the L&M amusements booth. Larry bought a lot of the GamePlan stock when they closed doors back in the day.
