This thread scares the he!! out of me.

You've replaced twelve ICs and two other components without having a clue what the problem is?????

And, since D25 is reading exactly as it should, it seems pretty obvious to me that you should put the soldering iron down and get professional help.

Or, heck you're close enough now, why not just replace all the rest of the ICs on the board. After you've finished, send this guy a pile of cash with your board...

Quoted from ChrisHibler:

...Besides...neither of us want to see that board, right?...

Absolutely not. Note the link.

Quoted from ChrisHibler:

...I'd still counsel comparing various measurements between two identical boards...

Absolutely. It's always a good idea to compare to a known working circuit before pulling out the soldering iron.

Quoted from robgo777:

Actually Rob, several of the chips were replaced prior to the board coming to me. I don't have a logic probe, however I do have plenty of chips and sockets on hand.
I do appreaciate your input and help though, keep up the good work Rob Anthony, you have been a huge help.

Ahhh. Well socketed ICs certainly change things since they can be swapped without risking damage to the board.

Logic probes are very inexpensive and an invaluable tool for troubleshooting pinball boards. I use mine far more than an oscilloscope.
