My Gorgar has no solenoids working. No flippers either.

I can start a game and everything else works but the ball doesn't pop out flippers don't work. Pop bumpers don't work either. Coils seem to be shorted across diodes.

Switches work. Sound works. Playfield lights work. I can drain ball 3 times to end the game.

All fuses have been tested out of circuit and are not blown. Coil in door has been cut so that's not the problem.

All pcbs have been bullet proofed. New connectors everywhere.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking maybe the bridge rectifiers?

Frustrated!!!

Quoted from StratDoc:

Do you have voltages at the solenoids that are not working?

The solenoids/coils are all shorted out. None of them are working. The flippers are not working either. I can start a game but the ball doesn't pop out of the shoot. The souonds all work. I can press the switches with me fingers and they all work...

I figured it out. My bad. The 6 pin connector on the power supply board was missing. Grounded out the bridge rectifiers and all is good! Game is playing perfectly! Great game for 1979. The heart beat sure goes crazy the longer you play. Thanks again for peoples help. And yes I have a DMM and measured everything. Just couldn't figure out what was missing.
