Quoted from pinballman3:The F6 fuse is to the GI circuit. Backbox and playfield coin door light. Maybe a GI socket shorting out randomly? I would think if it was a direct short it would blow fuse instantly.
(This is a repeat of a fix from earlier in this thread. Repeated here for emphasis.)
*FIX FOR GI FUSE BLOWING*
I had this EXACT problem as well. After I had replaced all the lighting (incl GI) with #44 instead of #47 which was installed at the factory for a reason.
Putting an amp meter in series with the GI fuse reveals that the 44's in the GI pull 11 amps. So no wonder that it blows the slow blow 10 amp fuse after bit when it warms up enough to do so. After all it is a slow blow fuse of course.
The fix is to go ALL #47's or go LED. If going LED make sure the stay alive switch is set to OFF then they won't flicker.
Hope that helps!
