I need some help.
I'm in the process of rebuilding my Fish Tales pin. Normally I take pictures of everything I dismantle so as not to forget how it goes back together. Lots of pictures so far. BUT for what ever reason I forgot to map out / take pictures of the 3 pop bumper lamp socket wiring path before I cut the metal pieces. Now I'm stuck on which post gets solider on to what.
Is there an easy way to figure out the path way?
Thanks for the help.

The General Illumination (GI) lamp circuit is shown on page 3-14 in the
manual (available on www.ipdb.org).

I don't see the pops in the lamp matrix chart on page 3-2, so I believe
those are GI (non-controlled) lamps. Page 3-32 has details on the J120
plug.

Also, searching www for "pinball fish tales teardown pictures under
playfield" turns up some images that may be helpful. For example:

As Kerry posted the pop bumpers are GI lighting.
Page 3-32 in the manual has the connector pinouts. Pictures show a violet wire. So pin #6 is violet and pin #11 is white with violet stripe. Those are the two wires you need to each pop bumper light. This is AC so no diodes.

Always research before spending money on a pinball machine.
