Mr & Mrs Pac-Man outhole kicker solenoid doesn't fire
What I have tried...
1. Grounded tab of Q4 on Solenoid driver board... nothing
2. metered wire from A3J1-5 to outhole solenoid... rings out fine, 0 ohms
3. plugged P1 ontop Solenoid driver board, left it slightly up, metered from the exposed socket pin to the outhole solenoid... rings out fine, 0 ohms (sort of redundant, but wanted to be sure socket in plug was making contact with pin on driver pcb)
4. Placed game in "lamp test" and grounded tab of Q4 on solenoid driver board... nothing (did this because I was curious if the Solenoid Expander was part of the problem.
5. Visual inspection of outhole kicker solenoid... part number AN-26-1200 (as called for) freely travels in and out (if pushed manually). Not burned, doesn't get hot...
What's next?
Is the solenoid dead?
