Duh...yeah drop target. I haven't been at this long. Need to get my terminology correct.
My 5v is solid but I will be replacing with a 5v switching power supply. It's the power to the coils (I believe that's the circuit-it's been a week or so since I was looking at it) that is blowing the main fuse. The resistor number you gave me was the final piece I needed to replace components on that circuit( replacing all components on the board actually) Something on the board in that circuit is blowing the main fuse because I can disconnect everything outgoing from the pcb leaving incoming power from transformer and that circuit will cause the main fuse to blow. When I remove that circuit's fuse with only the incoming power connected the main fuse does not blow. Primitive way to diagnose but like I said I'm new to this. Removed the 8000mfg electrolytic cap and its not testing correct and as I understand it a bad one can draw too much current.
I appreciate the responses. Especially seeing how old the thread is.

Hi Chopper,
I just sent you a PM.
I just bought one of these tables and mine is in need of some power board repairs not unlike your own.
I've attached a pic of my current power board.
As you can see, it needs some help.
Any advice would be appreciated.

GoddTodd:
I think I figured out my shopping list for power board parts.
However, I see you have a new fuse in F5, but I don't see any reference to it.
What did you put in there?
GoddTodd:
I ended up starting a blog on Pinside.

There's lots of pictures there.
As you can see from reading it. I'm having a lot of the same power board issues as you and have been documenting my progress with it.
I haven't even begun to think about lighting but will take your advice.

Please don't led it. I did find some leds that look perfect in the pop bumpers, didn't want to keep cooking the covers with #47 bulbs. I tried many many leds from everyone in the pops and comet has a winner.
good day.

Those might be tough to find unless you happen to run into someone at the right time parting out an allied table out. I have one never used drop target I'm obviously keeping, I had one that was shot completely, but was able to repair 4 others that were bad in mine with epoxy and small strips of plastic for reinforcement.

Looks like your power board is a different revision, I wonder if F5 is used on the units that have chimes for sound. Where that green plug is, that's where you're gonna want to wire a new switching power supply for good 5v to main pcb, only 4 wires on that plug, real easy to figure out which 2 are the ac line and -/+ 5 from the ps. I hope you ordered a bunch of extra fuses, have a feeling you're gonna be hunting down a couple shorts on the play field or within the transistor section on the pcb. Take it one step at a time, and verify voltages as you go, keep in mind there is gonna be a mix of ac and dc, check docs for pin outs and values.
good day.
