The front glass lights (coin accepted and payouts) there's a total of 7 bulbs and the reel fluorescent are not working. I inspected a few of them and they don't look very bad and also checked the fuses. If one light bulb is bad does it cause the rest to not work?

Check and make sure the switch wire is not rubbing on the slot it's in. You can take the two screws loose and check the switches action that way.. Make sure the switches electrial wires are not grounding out..

You were spot on Gary. Thanks. I took the screws out and realized it does have action. The arm which the coin hits on the coin switch just needed a little adjustment and it now works. Only problem now is with the lights. I broke one of the caps on the reel fluorescent when taking it out. The feature light jackpot at the top comes on after awhile I was reading about machines needing to warm up. The reel fluorescent and front glass reel lights are not working either.

Those old F lights are usually in need of replacing, especially if they start to blacken around the end of the glass tube. When I get a machine, I replace the bulbs and then the starters .... then the ballast if needed.

My dad noticed that the symbols don't all land on the pay line. At first I thought he was wrong but after getting this other mostly working machine I noticed they all land on the pay line. Is there an easy fix for this?

This f light looks brand new. The only light that is working is the belly glass and a light inside the feature jackpot board. I figured out how to change the bulb duhh. 2 ballasts are hot and two are not.

Any local hardware store will carry them. Might pay a few cents more for them, but with current gas price I'm saving money not driving to a big chain store.

I picked some starters up at Home Depot only a buck each if u buy 2 packs. Are these just for the fluorescents or is there one for the coin tray and coin acceptor lights?

You only need starters for the fluorescents.  The others should be like #63 bulbs or whatever incandescents.

Ok my machine seems like all the fluorescents are on unless there's one I'm not seeing there's four starters and I see only 3 fluorescents one above the reels, one at the feature jackpot lights and the belly unless there's 2 in there. I don't know why else the front lights #63 won't work. I put one in that I know is good and it didn't work. Do I need to make sure they are all new for it to work

You have your front general illumination lights which are 120V fluorescents, and also probably some 6V #63's.  The 6V are usually run in parallel, so if one goes out, it won't affect the others.
The other 6V lights you have are:
insert coin
Coin Accepted
Winner Paid.
These 3 are run by different switches in the machine.  The 1st two are to be found in your coin relay stack on the left rear side of the reel mech.
The winner paid light is controlled by a switch on the back of the hopper board.
You can use jumpers to test these 6v lights very easily, without even taking them out of their sockets.

Thanks for all that info! I changed the starters and the fluorescent lights are brighter and on faster now. Here's the thread for my 742 i am cross threading lol. http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=25069.new#new
I am going to change the starters on the continental tomorrow and see if that gets the belly light to turn on

What is the easiest way to change the belly glass bulb?

I was also wondering how to get the symbols to line up. I noticed that they are not all lining up with the Payline as they are supposed to

Glad to hear the starters helped.  applause

As far as the belly glass lamp goes, there a couple screws on the inside that will release it. Be careful when you remove the screws the bracket and glass dont fall. That will give you access to the lamps there.
