Have a new clear coated playfield installed and I started fixing all the problems with the game, which werent many but he strobe doesnt work! I noticed the light was burnt out, so I purchased a working assembly and it still doesnt work.

Any suggestions where I should start looking? thanks in advance.

Since the board that powers the strobe is located behind the back of the playfield, kinda hidden, maybe you missed hooking up one of the cables.

Thanks a lot for the links/help. I saw the board behind the playfield, but didnt wanna mess with it quite yet

so if I remove the board, do I have to discharge the caps manually?

thanks

It should not be charged up provided you wait a while after powering the game down.

I just upgraded the caps on mine and built another one up from scratch for a resto project that I have. Straight forward little board.
