Hi !
Just done with a Dr Dude restoration and notised a short yellow loose wire coming from the pop bumper in the back that i don't know where goes.No light coming from the bulb either.
Would be grateful if someone could check their Dr Dude so i know where to solder the wire back on

Thanks.I'll check the switch matrix.I have to admit i did a pretty stupid thing first.It looked like some rest of a wire on the target to the left and without thinking too much about it i solderd the wire on there.
After running the machine a bit and noticed that the target was not working i thought "this is not right" so i removed the wire from the target.Since the target is not working i guess i may have done some damage to it.Need to know what to check there also

Some more pictures.The things i see that's not working is the "I test target" , bulb on the "left jet bumper"(this is the bumper with the loose yellow wire) and the "2x" lamp socket.I tried another working bulb there but no luck.
Since the wire is very short, i don't see too many options for where it's supposed to be connected.
All the bulbs in the machine are brand new premium leds from cointaker.

Just unplugged the "I test target" next to the "left jet bumper"
Don't know if it's supposed to look like this or if there is something missing like a wire for example
Besides the target, the only thing the the wire can reach is a lamp socket on both sides of the bumper but it doesen't looks like it's been there before.

Solderd the wire back on and now the "I target" works
The only thing now is the light in "2X" and one of the lights in the "raygun".(no.5 to the left from the front)
The bulbs in both places are ok so it's not that.In the "raygun" i took both the bulb and holder and tested it in no.4 and both checked out ok.
Also,the red "dude" windows in the lower playfield area only occasionally flash during attract mode.
There is a machine for sale here on pinside at the moment and in those pictures the lights are all on during attract mode as far as i can see.
When i played it i got the "plain dude" and the the window lit but when the game was over the window was still lit +when i started a new game.

Looks like i got most of the problems sorted out.
The only thing left is the "2x" light.Don't know why it doesen't work.Bulb is ok and the holder looks good too.
I also need to know how to install my nos "big shot" figure.
