Hey I just signed up, been a member of KLOV for YEARS but have been getting the bug to start getting pins in the gameroom. I just finished fixing my first (Space Invaders Pin) and now I picked up a Buck Rogers. It boots up but as the score displays go from last game to high score the tilt relay clicks on and playfield lights go out. Now here is where it gets really weird... I can coin up and start a game but when I do all playfield lights go out and the flippers and pop bumpers don't work. It does score and the drop targets all work and even reset themselves. Anyone got a suggestion? The guy I got it from has replaced all the boards with gottlieb sys 1 repro boards and they all loo correct and connected correctly. Even made sure dips were right for buck Rogers. Hoping I can get this fixed quick and get to the fun part of cleaning and fixing lights!
Here's a video of what its doing:

There is two relays at the back right of the pf. Make sure they are adjusted properly.

The connectors could be bad. Gottliebs need to have all the connectors replaced.

Wild guess here but maybe plumb bob tilt or ball roll is permanently closed? don't know sys 1 much
