I have a weird situation. I just got a Gofers and shopped it out. I have tested everything, and it works. However, NO flash lamps work! The LED indicator for the flash lamp circuit on the driver board it not lit. I did what I thought was right and replaced the Bridge Diodes (D115,116,117,118) and the filter cap (C10). Still Nothing (And no, it wasnt the fuse).

I decided to check the input voltages to the board. This is J128. Pins 1/2 and 3/4 are the VAC from the transformer. It is supposed to get 16V and I am getting just above 5V! This makes no sense to me. I have NEVER had a bad transformer. The only thing I can think it if it was some sort of re-import and the voltages are off. The game seems to work just fine.

Any ideas?!

Oops....looks like it was the interlock switch in the door. I thought test mode overrode this, but I was wrong
