Re: TAF 4 lights in mansion are out

Ever hear of age and vibration ? Common problem with boards holding light
sockets, reflow the solder on the pins coming off the board where the
connector plugs on to and you'll be good as new. LTG :)

After playing my TAF for the league on Friday I made a note to replace
some bulbs. Four of them in the mansion windows were out and changing
the bulbs did not work.

#55 Quick Multiball, #56 Fester's Tunnel, #58 Hit It, and #67
Graveyard and Max

I swapped the 555 sockets with ones working next to them and still no
dice. They are not all on the same grid in the lamp matrix so I don't
think it is a transistor. I reseated the connector at the power
board, no dice. So then I pull the connector off the circuit board
under the mansion and one of the pins stayed in the board. So now the
3 million window does not work either.

How come these things go wrong when the game is just sitting there.
Totally clean, no corrosion, no burn or rust.
