I have had this machine and it has worked well forever. Recently had a blown fuse and I believe that a stuck pop bper is the reason.
The left pop bumper coil appears burnt and is permanently retracted, holding open a switch. Whenever I manually hit the skirt, the pinball machine shorts and turns off.
Obviously this coil needs replaced, but I am not sure if there are other areas I should check before ordering replacement parts. i have metered across the coil to see if it is being powered all the time and that does not appear to be the case, I think it is just jammed retracted.
I am new to working on the machine so any thoughts are appreciated. Still trying to learn how to read the circuit.
Thanks, Sean
