Flight 2000
Stern Electronics, 1980Hi all, I am having a new issue with my Flight 2000. Everything works on the machine, but the upper half of the backbox lights don’t come on. I don’t have any power to the connector that powers them. All fuses on the rectifier board test good. I have the manual but I can’t figure out How the lights are powered. Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks! Troy
Quoted from Dr_Dude:One of the pins on your rectifier board in the bottom cabinet is bad: Try wiggling those connectors, and I'm sure you'll find that that is the culprit..

connector J3 pins 1,2,10and11 would be my guess , should be the same wire color could show some stress from heat as well.
Found it! Broken wire on J3 connector at pin 10. I will need to run a new wire to the backbox connector. Anybody know what this connector is that I will have to order from somewhere? Thanks all esp Chas10e!

I don't know why Pinball Life doesn't have the 0.100 sized ones ... but good to have both on hand
