Hello I have been going through my raven machine and need a picture of the wiring on the diode board located under the playfield. someone has done some work to this area and I dont think the wiring is correct and there are two wires that aren't connected. A picture of this board in the game would be very helpful.

I do not have a Raven on hand to take a picture, but I know exactly how to connect this board.
This is not a plate with diodes, but a small board with resistors, physically located between the four bumpers and slightly curved shape.
It contains the polarization resistors of the transistors mounted under the playfield, as well as the resistors for the two flash lamps (and also a resistor for the scrolling lamps ~ driven by the auxiliary lamp driver).
This board has nothing to do with the contact matrix, and with other small boards with diodes.
This board is powered by 24 volts (common wire - 222 - red/red/red) that is seen at the top of the photo.
On the other hand, for departures having two wires (the three resistors on the right of the photo) (colors 144, 644 and 633 - brown/yellow/yellow, blue/yellow/yellow and blue/orange/orange) goes to polarise the base of the transistor, and use small resistors 1/4 W 4.7 K. Look like OK on your board.
They are R1, R2 and R3 on the schematic.
The two middle departures, with a single wire, go to flashlights. Wires are 077 and 088 (black/purple/purple and black/gray/gray).
There is something wrong here : resistors should be BIG ! because they are 5 W - 8 ohms ... and someone replace them by small 1/4 W 4.7 K !!!
For sure, flashlights works badly or not at all, with a such value. But may be, the lamps have been replace by LED ??? check that, but for sure, this mount is not standard.
They are R4 and R5 on the schematic.
For the last wires on the left, there is obviously an error. The color 311 (orange/brown/brown) indicates that it is the wire controlling the two groups of lamps, but supplied with 6 V DC.
There should be there a big resistance 5 W - 0.33 ohms and it should be connected to 6 V and not to 24 V.
It is R6 on the schematic.We can find all this information on the diagram

the components are even mentioned in a small box (R1, R2, R3 - R4, R5 - R6)[quoted image]
I appreciate you assistance. I got all of the switched and flash lamps working as a result of getting that resistor board wired correctly. I only have one set of general illumination lights that fail to light up now. It is the lamp on the right slingshot and all of the general illumination on the immediate right side of the playfield. Havent been able to pin that issue down. Any assistance on that would also be appreciated. Thanks again.
