Just picked up a Williams Super-Flite. I plugged it in and got nothing. Hit the left flipper button and got nothing. All the fuses test fine. I thought it might be the switch, so I bypassed it and jumpered the switch wires together - still nothing.
Here are my questions:
Is there a way to test the power cord and/or transformer at least to eliminate those potential issues?
Is there a main fuse I'm missing somewhere? I thought the fuses were on separate circuits, so wouldn't I at least get GI?
Check for voltage at the inputs of the power switch, at the service outlet, etc. At some point between where the power cord comes in and where the transformer is there's a loss of voltage. Not sure about this machine specifically, but many have a fuse prior to the transformer, often located near the back
You'll need to check the circuits that supply power to the transformer... First, make sure the power cord is in good condition. Then check the power cord is connected to a "working" power outlet. Check the voltage at the transformer with a multi-meter. Incoming voltage should be 110-120v and the output voltage should be 25v and 5-6v. Then check voltage on both sides of the main fuse near the transformer at the fuse block, and check voltage on both sides of the power switch...
