    Quoted from Kingjowjow:

    Thanks for all that information, ill have to go back under the table and see what's going on. Do you know anywhere they sell the big bulb? I'm not seeing it anywhere. It's odd all the lights on certain green boards do not work, makes me wonder if the individual green board is bad?

    Something that has not been mentioned, but lines up with the symptoms you are experiencing with all lamps on some of the pcbs not working is the header pins. I’ve found 9/10 when all lamps aren’t working on a pcb, it’s the header pins. I have never had a case where the indentation was so severe, it was causing a lamp not to light. Unplug the connector for those boards and flow fresh solder at the base of every pin (game turned off). Plug the connector back in and I bet you have lamps. As for the large bulb, as mentioned, it is a flash lamp and does not stay solidly lit, it will briefly flash during gameplay when specific events happen.
