    Good Morning,

    Just a little background.... I picked this up 2 weeks ago and started going thru it. I do have a schematic. So far, I have cleaned and rebuilt the 2 stepper units on the back panel they now advance and reset manually. The score motors were stuck, I cleaned them up and now they spin freely and reset to zero. Installed a new power toggle switch and power cord along with a fuse block, most of the clips were broken. Below is the original fuse block, notice the screw... my question is, why would that have been done, on the schematic, it shows that there is no fuse or permanent connection in that slot.
    thanks
    Steve

    Because someone didn't know what they were doing. Take that screw out. It's an either/or situation with those 2 fuses. Either a fuse in the low line or one in the normal line depending on the voltage where you plug the game in at.

    Thanks for the reply... as I was just looking at it again, the writing is on the wall... kinda… the label to the left of the fuse block, DOH....

    Thanks again,
