Anyone know a good pinball repair person in North GA? My BK keeps blowing the F2 solenoid fuse randomly. Could last a game or two or a week or two.

Awesome. I am in North Forsyth county (Dawsonville address).
Ernie came out once and replaced the 4 chip connectors on the CPU board for me. I have called him a couple times since for this issue, have not heard back from him. Figured he must be covered up with repairs.
I have reflowed the connectors on the CPU/driver boards, but still blows the F2. Since it is so random, not sure what to try next.
Schwaggs and I could be neighbors!
Thanks for the tips. I’ve ran the coil tests a few times, but can’t get it to blow the fuse. I’ve done a few visuals, but didn’t see anything “obvious” to me.
When I power the game on, I only hear the click come from the coin door. I have a 2.5 amp slow blow installed.
I talked with Ernie, he said replace the 2.5 amp with a 5 amp and start sniffing! Hoping that will turn the intermittent issue into a hard failure that can then be fixed.
hawknole, maybe a 2-2.5 amp fast blow and run the solenoid diagnostic again. Sounds like a great idea.
Neighbor Schwaggs, I do have a meter. I will test the resistance of all coils tomorrow and report back.
zacaj, yea make the intermittent fail hard and replace. Just not sure if that would do damage to any boards, or make my basement smell like smoke!
Thanks all for the advice. Will try the fast blow fuse and the coil resistance tomorrow.
Measured the coils
The flipper coils (sfl-19-400) upper were .9 and 1.1. Lowers were 1.9 and 2.0.
The sg23 were all 4.0-4.1.
The sm35 were 265-268
The sg29 was 15.3.
No 2-2.5 fast blow on hand. Will have to run out and grab a few.
5 mos (took me 3 mos to send the boards in) and $370 lighter in my pocket, my BK is purring like a kitten. Sent my boards into Clive at Coin-Op, and he sent them back with a laundry list of repairs. Thans to Black_Knight, Schwaggs, and others for the trouble shooting tips. I highly recommend Coin-Op for board repairs! My kids and I are loving playing our BK.
