Quoted from Turkey_Robinson:Interesting. So I was reading about how there's a link between the coin door switches and the flasher circuit so I tried fiddling with the 6 connectors on the back of the coin door buttons and the flashers popped on! Interestingly enough about 3/4 of them lit up in the pf, only one was actually flashing, the rest just stayed on at full brightness. None in the backbox lit up though. I took a reading at tp7 for 13v, way under the 20 it needs.
Should I still go ahead with the gameplan of inspecting the bridge rectifiers and capacitors?
Replace the switch. I had a CP that I was working on with a similar problem (13V and no flash lamps). After checking and replacing everything in the circuit I checked the coin door switch. It had continuity (I had checked it earlier) but as soon as I tried to pass current it would go open. I tested it again by jumpering around it with alligator clips and the flashlamps worked. Replacing this switch fixed the flashlamps.
