Help ! ! Purchased DE Hook project. Many problems but fixed all but one. The big kick coil under the skill shot ramp does not work. When the ball goes there, it does not shoot out. I can hear clicking from the K1 relay on the PPB board in the back box trying to eject ball but nothing happens.
I first checked all the fuses. They all checked out.
I then checked the switch to the coil and it works fine.
I replaced coil and coil diode. Nothing.
I did continuity from both wires from coil to ppb board. Checks out fine. no breaks.
I next checked PPB board Q1-Q5 transistors, R16-R19 resistors, D18-D21 diodes. They all check out on DMM.
I was next trying to check CPU board transistors Q39-Q46 but it is a cramped area for testing since they are so close together and right against a connector.
Need to know if I'm heading in right direction and is there anything else I need to check.
All and any help would be appreciated.
Update: I found this schematic.

I checked transistor Q43 on the CPU board. I also checked D4, D12, R4, and Q2 on the PPB board all using DMM. Everything checks out. I don't KNOW what the +50vr +32vr is on the schematic. I did notice the 4 #89 flashers do not work and the knocker assembly is missing. I mention the knocker since one of its wires is the same color as big kick coil that I am trying to get working.
