In middle of working on an Addams Family, was playing great, then all coils/flippers not working. Didn't know it was down when I got there, so I had basic tools with me. Quick check out- I think I have all correct voltages, all fuses good (metered out). Looking at again on Monday. Just printed out some key coil/flipper pages out of the manual and looking a little more before Monday. Now I know what LEDs are supposed to be on/off, so that will help a little.
Anything specific I should look at? Driver board go out?
 
Do you have 50 volts on the 50V test point on the driver board ?

LTG : )
 
No 50v coming out of the transformer. Now on the hunt for a 5610-12835-00 transformer!

I've never seen a transformer fail or even heard of one failing. Do you have input voltages to the transformer?
 
Everything is in line as per voltages except no/low 50v. Tested directly at the molex plug coming off the transformer. Both sides of the plug, plugged and unplugged,
 
I haven't had a WPC like Addams in a while but isn't the 50VAC straight off the transformer run through the coin door interlock?

I have had issues testing Williams pinball and video transformers out of the game due to the way they wire the interlock. Check the schematic on aracarc to see if there are some tricks to testing it. Sorry have the url as a favorite but didn't take a look.

I figured out the problem, I really haven't messed with pinball AC voltages and I was testing it wrong. You test both of the same color wires together, ie: red/white and red/white. So my final problem was a burning out fuse, tested fine a couple times and finally no continuity.
