Hi !

Here's a summary of all infos regarding the GI of DW I gathered.
Feel free to add some info or corrections.

Every string is powered on 6.8VAC, every bulb is in parallel with a max of 18 bulbs per string.
All fuses are 5A Short Blow.

GI string #1

  • Fuse F110
  • Transistor Q18
  • 18 #555 bulbs on the insert panel, 22AWG plugged on J121-7 WHT-BRN and J121-1 BRN

GI string #2

  • Fuse F109
  • Transistor Q10
  • 14 #555 bulbs on the insert panel, 22AWG plugged on J121-8 WHT-ORG and J121-2 ORG
  • 4 #555 bulbs in the topper, 22AWG, J1-1 WHT-ORG from topper board to J1-1 on resistor board and J2-1 WHT-ORG from resistor board to J121-8, J1-3 ORG from topper board to J1-5 on resistor board and J2-4 BLK from resistor board to J118-3

GI string #3

  • Fuse F108
  • Transistor Q14
  • 3 #555 bulbs on the insert panel, 22AWG plugged on J121-9 WHT-YEL and J121-3 YEL
  • 10 #44 bulbs on the playfield, 18AWG plugged on J120-9 WHT-YEL and J120-3 YEL

GI string #4

  • Fuse F107
  • Transistor Q16
  • 4 #555 bulbs on the insert panel, 22AWG plugged on J121-10 WHT-YEL and J121-5 YEL
  • 13 #44 bulbs on the playfield, 18AWG plugged on J120-10 WHT-YEL and J120-5 YEL

GI string #5

  • Fuse F106
  • Transistor Q12
  • 4 #555 bulbs on the insert panel, 22AWG plugged on J121-11 WHT-VIO and J121-6 VIO
  • 12 #44 bulbs on the playfield, 18AWG plugged on J120-11 WHT-VIO and J120-6 VIO
  • 1 #555 on the coin door (may vary depending on the coin door), 22AWG plugged on J3-2 WHT-VIO and J3-1 VIO on coin door interface board, linked to driver board by J2-2 to J119-1 WHT-VIO and J2-1 to J119-3 VIO

Here's a map with corresponding wire colors for the playfield (note sometimes 18AWG yellow wire is used to connect near bulbs) :
IMPORTANT : the image is mirrored, so look at it as if it's the playfield top and not the underneath.
The colors match the wire colors on J120.

Here's a similar map for the insert panel (not mirrored this time), with links between bulbs.
The colors match the wire colors on J121.

Hope this will be useful to someone !

Great resource. Yes, it's all in the manual, but this makes it so much easier to follow and once you can translate this to what's in the manual, you'll be able to understand the manual even more.

Thanks!
