The flippers and special solenoids stopped working at the same time. Checked for fuses specific the these and they were fine. Grounded the transistor tabs on all special solenoids and they fired fine. Noticed the u45 was socketed so I changed that .. didn’t work. Moved on the u50 .. put a socket and new chip there .. didn’t fix it. Next I removed the u50 and tested the flippers and they WORK (in game play and in attract mode). So I know it is nothing on the playfield and the flipper control board. What next in the sequence that needs to be looked at.
