james bond slot vintage

I have the j.b.007 slot. i went to change the floresent tube light and now none of the lights work. the reels still spin and sound works, just no lights. it takes a 3 amp and a 8 amp fuse in the power supply and a 1 amp on the board to the right on top. it doesn't look like the fuses are blown, what do i check next?

I would start by taking the tubes back out.
I assume by lights you mean all lights like add credit. Stop buttons etc. Or just the frame attract lights.

Sorry to read of your trouble and I've been there more times than I care when I was a kid trying to figure out a problem in school or on a project that I was working on.

When everything went kablewy I took a step back and got a soda and relaxed ,then went back and started with the most simple I would go with a flashlight and if needed a magnifying glass and look for the obvious i.e. a loose or disconnected wire like you stated it might be a fuse blown .

If you have a multimeter you can check a whole bunch of things and then the Fun starts (I still like a good mystery to solve ) and here is a really useful YouTube video on how to Troubleshoot any electronics down to the bad part without schematics.
