Hi all as the title describes. I checked continuity and voltage to the relay connections for the three bumpers on top and the two lower kick back. I have 14 volts DC to each location but the solenoids will not activate. When I make the relay contact(s) voltage goes to 0.

Any further suggestions to help me?

The capacitor across the bridge rectifier output might be bad pulling the output voltage down. With the age of the rectifier I would change that too.

Thanks Pinballdaveh, This is a good start. I'll have to look in my spare electronics bin. If no luck there I'll need to search locally or go online. I'll get the specs from the schematic I got online. Machine is all original and shows it but is still fun. I just moved and set it up in my new space and this is a new issue. I have not used it in maybe six months or so. Went from freezing weather to 90 degree and up.

Thanks again - Terry

Thanks, I first swapped out the cap and still same issue than the rectifier and all is well. I figured due to age the cap could have failed, the rectifier fixed it but I don't know if it was just the rectifier. The cap due to age/service needed to go as well. I had to use a 1.0uF 100 volt cap so not sure if this was ok to use.
