Hello, I am attempting to get that MH I was gifted the other month up and running...I'm a complete newbie at this (repair/restore)...tried finding applicable posts here, but got a little overwhelmed at all the information and didn't know where to start/what would apply.

There's an issue with lights in the back box that would illuminate the back glass are out.

At first I just tried swapping a new bulb, but still didn't light. Not sure how / what to test to isolate the issue.

I attached a picture from another user's posting that shows the lights working like they should, as well as a series of pictures that show what I think is happening, but I'm just guessing. The ball in play, tilt, high score lights that run along the bottom and top of the game are working.

Appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks wiredoug – can the part failing be repaired or would it require a new board?

Yeah, I'm looking into also replacing Solenoid Driver Board, MPU, and Lamp Driver board, really doing my own high-end restoration. Wanted to see if I could get it up and running cheaply first.

I wasn't aware of the rectifier board replacement though, so thanks for the suggestion zombywoof.

thanks BallyPinWiz – I have a buddy that I think can help me do this, so will look into that. I'll keep everyone posted.
