Skee-Ball Model S Restoration: F2 Fuse Keeps Blowing?

<< < (3/3)

l1nt:
I have confirmed .5 slo-blow is the correct fuse here. I picked this machine up as-is from the former Skee-Ball world champ and he run several dozen of these machines up and down California. He confirmed that is the fuse for F2. Might be time to find someone local with boots on the ground to look at it. I appreciate your help and humor!

lilshawn:
if you aren't worried about keeping things original, i would have the output of the board go to a small 120v relay which would use much less power than the solenoid... and have the relay drive 120v to the solenoid.

i would use something like linked: (sorry for obscenely long amazon link)

or i would modify the circuit to drive a mosfet/solid state relay and get away from the triacs

l1nt:
Just to not leave this thread hanging, I had a local repair guy come out and check everything (former Bally/Williams Employee). He could find nothing wrong with the board, connections or the solenoid. We stepped up the fuse by .5 and I have not had any issues since. Running 1amp slo-blo now with no issues. Still unclear as to why this machine wants to be overfused a little but I will take it.
