I have a Hokus Pokus that none of the lights in the head/light box work. I should clarify further. The "OVER THE TOP" and "SAME PLAYER SHOOTS AGAIN" will light when the they are supposed to. None of the scoring reel lights are on and none of the other lights are lit. I have checked all the fuses in the 4 Bank of fuses and the one 5amp under the playfield and all are good. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dave

I should have mentioned before I took all the Jones Plugs out and cleaned all the male pins with Scotchbrite and also wiggled them while the machine is on with no success. Where would the 6Volt fuse be located for the head that you mention? I have checked the 4 in the 4 fuse bar down by the transformer and one fuse on the underneath side of the playfield and all are good.

Thank you TimMe for your help.

I will look for the Lock Relay and check that out. Thanks TimMe
Hi Ken, thank you yes I do have a schematic, but am a novice at reading these. I am learning but it is slow.

Yes, there is a lock relay and I cleaned and gapped the contacts. No success. The relay is operating okay.

I tried a couple in the head but maybe I should try more. Maybe I was lucky enough to try a couple that also have bad sockets. I'll try that tomorrow night. Thank you for all your suggestions.

Okay I tried a few bulbs with no luck so I ran a jumper wire from the 6V lug on the transformer to the Lock relay blade for the head and I have lights. Now I just need to trace down the broken wire.

Found a bad connection of the RED/BLACK wire from the fuse block to the Lock Relay...all is good now. Thanks TimMe for the Lock Relay direction.
