    Comments/advice sought. On a Captain Fantastic, I find a burnt, toasty and busted male pin on the jones plug connecting the mech board to the fuse/tilt panel on the inside wall. It is on the 6v line from the transformer to the fuse panel, where it splits and serves 2, 15 amp fuses that are PF lamps and backbox lamps. It seems that jones plug is carrying too much current with perhaps too much resistance. Have seen this on other Bally games and even searching my enormous parts stash for replacement jones plugs, often find one male pin burnt on scrap harnesses.
    Should I split that 6v line before the jones plug and have a separate pin for each fuse?

    OK, spank me. I just did a search and found plenty of comments on this subject. Search first, then post.
    On a funny note, this customers game, Captain Fantastic......has 4 legs, all different length. PBR, here I come.
