Damn GI....

<< < (8/8)

Silverball84:
So there's either a short in the GI somewhere or the board had a weak spot which opened instead of the fuse. I would check resistance on the GI circuit at that bumper. Something I didn't think of til just now...Is it possible that the tip of the light bulb got shorted to the body by the head of the screw? In the picture above the screw head looks really close to the socket. If the tip of the bulb touched it that would have shorter it for sure.

Toadie:
Looks like their was a fault in the rectifier board that should have been caught by the fuse but for some reason it didn't catch.  Transformer appears to be ok, and I'm back up and running.  Thanks Chad and Ed for the insightful tips and hints, much appreciated and helpful.

ChadTower:

Hrm.  All I can think of there is that the fuse holder was shorted or the circuit was overfused.  Overfusing a circuit is way more common than it should be in older games when someone can't quite figure out how to fix it.  Also just shorting the fuse with a nail or aluminum foil.
