Yes, I know its not a real pinball but picked this one up to tinker with because I thought the mechanics of the game were interesting and figured it would be a cheap way to learn so here goes...

Game was partially working when I picked it up. Brought it home and all of the coils went dead. Did all of the usual stuff, reseating, cleaning, etc but did not bring back any of the coils. Read through the pinwiki on these games and began to replace all of the recommended components to attempt to bring it back to life. This includes: upgrading both bridge rectifiers and changing every transistor on the driver board. Also, when I remove the driver board, I do get flipper play. Finally, all scoring works in the game. I am wondering if there is anyone that is familiar enough with these games to help me bring this one back to life? Attached is the pinwiki link which also contains the manual/schematic for the game. Any help from the community would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance....

Do you have DC voltage at the coils? If not, check the circuit breaker for the coils on the back of the machine.

Voltage is present at the coils. Changed out circuit breakers to separate fuses. Thanks for trying to help out. Anyone else have any ideas for me?
