I’m in the club! Almost finished shopping out my pinbot. But I can’t get my energy flashers to work? New bulbs installed My lower ramp is working. So my board seems good ? Also my robot face is stays lit always? Should it?

I’m in the club! Almost finished shopping out my pinbot. But I can’t get my energy flashers to work? New bulbs installed My lower ramp is working. So my board seems good ? Also my robot face is stays lit always? Should it?
So I got back to the machine. I found q17 drive transistor for the robot face to bad. The tab had continuity to ground. I swapped the transistor(2n6532) with a tip122. I thought they were similar by ohm readings btw legs. But the robot face stays on and the tab shows 150ohms to ground. Guess I gotta order the correct transistor? Lol and for the energy flashers I do have 23vac at the orange wires on the sockets. I checked the resistor boards. They look good.
Damn it! Already removed the 122 transistor. lol guess I should have looked at that drawing first. Thanx for the replies will try ur ideas when I get time tmrw.
Got back to my machine. I pulled the board and replaced q13 and q17. I still got some 750 ohms on the ground tab for q17. I noticed I didn’t have and continuity on the ground tab when I pulled q13. Problem must b upstream? I checked u18 and sr4. They look good also.
Tried the jumper. Nothing. And tested diodes a6 and d6. All test good but no flash. I did notice that I don’t have continuity from the unbanded side of the diode at c6 to and other c solder points I get 165 ohms. All other c solder points share continuity btw each other. Not sure what that means? Lol
