So I got all my boards back from the magician ( beaky). Installed them and all faults have been rectified. Apart from a bent switch and the lower playfield issue. With the switch adjusted I can now consintrate on this dam lower playfeild.

Here is what I no now:

555 globe is new. (Needed for relay to work)

Relay works fine. Beaky tested it. (See below)

Replaced both triacs on the power supply plate. (See pics)

Traced all cabling as per drawing. Seems fine.

Replaced test switch for lower flippers.

Both small expander boards have been reconditioned.

So when the game goes into elektra mode both top and middle gi turns off. (CORRECT)
But no lights come on (lower playfeild) or the lower flippers don't work. However the ball kicks out and targets register during the elektra mode time.

Here is the interesting part. I put the machine into switch test mode (for solonoieds) and pressed the test button under the playfeild. Bingo or do I say confused one of the gi globes on the lower playfeild lights up. I can hear the relay click and the 555 globe turns on aswell with every press. But no flippers.

So I'm thinking I have wiring issues. Any ideas.
