 You seem a little hung up on those coin mech lights. Don't worry about
that for the minute (the bulbs could be burned out). Check for power at
the long flat connector at the bottom of the metal card cage. It
supplies power to all the boards. I don't recall the exact color code
but there are three grounds (I think black) and three +5v there should
also be +12v -12v,-5v and 3vac between the white wire and ground. The
original power supply is a piece of junk. If it is bad (probably)
replace it with a computer power supply since most video game switching
type power supplies don't have -12v. tie the white wire (3vac) to +5vdc.
If you get that working and there is nothing else wrong with the game
(especially the monitor) it's a miracle!

Good Luck
