Thanks for taking a look and possibly helping me. I just picked up a Vector and none of the displays work. The F1 fuse was blown on the solenoid driver board. The previous owner stuffed a 3AG 1/4 amp in the 8AG fuse holder. It looked to be making a solid connection but the fuse was blown. I put another 1/4 amp fuse in the holder (3 AG, I do not have any 8 AG) and that blew on start up also. I checked T2 at the transformer board in the cabinet and I was getting 240V. I checked T2 at the solenoid driver board and I was also getting 240V. I got a reading of 240V at the bottom leg of the fuse holder also. I keep seeing these test readings at the solenoid board should be about 175-190 volts. I included 2 pictures of the solenoid board with some suspect heat marks and a solder joint but am not sure how to proceed. If I turned down the dash pot to 190 would it quit blowing the fuse or do I have a bad resistor or cap? Or am I completely on the wrong track (very likely....LOL). I plan on modifying the fuse holder to fit a 3 AG since I have it out of the back box also. Any help guys would be greatly appreciated!
