Is it the same relay that is on the solenoid driver board?. I have one here somewhere.

I think Ken told me (when I had mine) to check the diode near that relay, he has found it causes issues sometimes.

Does Elektra have the Solenoid Expander board ? Usually mounted under the playfield - it has a relay and a 555 globe. If the 555 globe is no good - some solenoids will not work - Often, these boards have dry joints on the connectors.
Bit lazy tonight - I have not checked the schematic to see if this game has one

Very very happy...as for $750 not a bad pickup...

Spent most of the day working on the Elektra....
And I must say Im over the moon on how well this thing came up....
I wish i had taken some before shots as this thing was FILTHY...
Now the machine is fully working...and only need to attack the bottom playfield next....and do some small touch-ups.

Nice, Paul - Very nice.
I'd be interested in your review of this machine - as I've heard that it is a very good player.

I bought the replacement grey spongy foam stuff thats seals the bottom PF from bunnings (yours is hanging of), its self adhesive (just pull the old staples out). Yes you should keep it for awhile, not many guys have played that game.
