    Bump... This is still of benefit to Williams SS owners and shouldn't dry up.

    I got one going in Flash soon.

    It'll free up space to try something Ken Layton suggested - splitting the 20A GI fuse circuit into a 4X5A block, for simpler lighting diagnostics.

    Thanks - I'll study it.

    OK... I finally got around to installing the bridge board in my Flash. I guess it's my "Ken Layton Memorial" install, as he was the one who suggested I use the board instead of just replacing the filter capacitor. Unfortunately, he's not around to share in the joy of completing the task.

    Anyway, it looks right to me, but I haven't quite screwed up my courage to turn the machine on. Any comments?

    Thanks - that was my method. How's yours doing?

    Our local assn. had a repair party to which a guy brought an F14. "What's the problem?" we asked. He plugged it in and the siren came on and stayed on! Wow!

    If I finish a project in the evening, I don't test it 'til the next morning - that way, if it doesn't work I don't lose sleep trying to figure out what's wrong. So... I powered up the Flash this morning and it looks and plays fine.

    The board is well made and installs neatly; thanks Peter Koch!

    Quoted from Inkochnito:

    It's looking good.
    If I can give you one more advice, split the G.I. into 4 strings.
    I've done this on my Blackout too.

    Thanks, Peter. I bought the stuff to split the lighting fuses, but I'm going to wait a bit. I'm not "professional grade" at pinball repair and hold myself to one change at a time. If something goes wrong, I don't have so many places to look for the reason.

    I appreciate your attention, and your nice bridge board!

    Greg

    p.s. Did you solder one wire across the bottom tabs of the 4 fuse holders in your Firepower photo?

    OK, thanks.
