Cannot get lights working!!!!!

[Atyia-D]

I am in the middle of puttiong my v-63 back together and for some reason I cannot get the door light or the coin light to work. The flourescent works just fine after I replaced the bulb and starter, but after changing the bulbs in the door and coin still no luck. Any suggestions?

Get your trusty voltmeter and start at the dead lights and work backward until you find voltage. Once you find somewhere voltage is coming in but not going out, there's your problem. It's probably a loose connector or broken wire somewhere.

the doorlight ( the bottle-port lamp on a V63) is feed from the Jones socket pins 1 & 2, as is the Coca~Cola lightup sign,  sometimes there is a switch that allows then to be turned off , but regardless they are both feed voltage from the same spot (pins 1&2) the "Correct change only" lamp is feed from pins 5 & 6 off of the jones socket and will only lightup when the coinmech has no change/nickels in it's tubes, ( if it's a metal/single price coinmech that is a non-change giver then the lamp should be "on" all of the time) . does the coinmech work?

yes, I believe the mech works but I am unfamiliar with the type of mech I have, so I do not know how to use it. I already took the entire machine apart and was unable to find any breaks . Should I just buy new sockets and try that?

 Before you do that I would  check for voltage at the socket and then work my  way back to the Jones socket.   If theres no voltage at the socket then buying a new one won't help.  Did you check continuity with a multi-meter set to resistance/continuity or did you just do a visual inspection?

I just visually checked it.
