Wurlitzer 200a Won't Turn On

I have a 200a that I recently bought. When I got it, it powered on fine, but a few of the hammers stuck, so I set out to fix that. After fixing the hammers and reconnecting the circuit boards and speakers (at this point, everything is connected except the hum shield and dampers), it no longer turns on (no sound, no pilot light). All of the fuses seems to be intact. There's continuity between the power cable input and the pilot light, and the problem happens with multiple power cables that work with other devices. I was wondering if anyone on this board had any ideas as to what might be happening, and would be willing to give advice.

Check to make sure one of the 120VAC pins in the white molex connector at the left side of the amp rail is not dislodged from the connector, either the black or white wire. If it's good, trace the continuity all the way to the transformer leads, without the power on of course. Both black and white wires. It should be pretty easy to find the culprit.
