Neither flipper works in a game or in diagnostics, and K1 on the CPU board does not click.
No flippers at all: flipper relay K1 not pulling in
Cause: Transistor Q67 (2N4401) most often; otherwise the 7402 at U50, the 7406 at U56, PIA U10, or the relay itself.
Checks
- Test Q67 first.
- With the CPU board out, put a 9 V battery across the relay's two coil lugs (the two set apart from the other 12): it should click firmly.
- Check U50, U56 and U10 with a logic probe.
Fix
- Replace Q67, the failed chip, or the relay (4PDT, 40 ohm coil, 6 V; Magnecraft W78CSX-1 fits).
