This will sound funny but same happened to me on Medusa (lost Gi in head and cabinet + lost sound as well)... and it was a fuse on the power board insise the cabinet

I tested the fuses, and they test fine.  Although the clips are pretty tarnished.   I wish it was that easy.

Did you test to see if your getting the 5.7 to 7.3VAC from the transformer? TP 4 on the rectifier board should give you a reading in there.

I believe there isn't a whole lot to the GI circuit from what I have read. It appears to go straight from the winding on the transformer to the board for distribution and that is about the extent of it.

I am guessing bad connector or blown winding on the transformer if the fuse isn't the problem.
