Ok this is getting strange. bare with me as I try to describe it.
I have the chip replaced on the board as suggested.
I connect t the transformer to the tube and playfield but the tube only lights up with one wire connected and when b the other wire touches metal (it accidentally touched the side rail)
do I have a grounding issue or am I connecting it incorrectly. When I connect both wires from the transformer to the playfield connector I get nothing.
pictures are of the playfield connector which I made up and the connection of the neon
