No CPU controlled lamp works.

None of the CPU controlled lamps light

Cause: The CPU lamp bridge rectifier (the one nearest the ground strip) or its 5 A slow-blow fuse; also the T relay contact that feeds lamp power.

Checks

  • Check the CPU lamp fuse.
  • Diode-test the bridge nearest the copper ground strip.
  • With the game on, look for 6-8 V DC at the lamp sockets.

Fix

  • Replace a bad bridge with a 35 A lug bridge (MB3502/MB3504).

The bottom panel carries 120 volt line power; unplug the game before touching the transformers, line filter or fuse block.
