I blew a right flipper fuse on the Austin powers.. I though that was weird...
A week later the left flipper has blown a fuse, I replace the fuse, turn the game on and the flipper Locks on .. I check q-15,Q16. Looks like a hack from the top ..

Q-15 was blown .. But how reliable is this

Thanks for the input , ordered a few transistors from pinball life (man they ship fast) ..I guess to "fix it better I would have to rebuild traces and pads ... I Never have done that .. I did see a trace pen at the local electronic supply store ... It was heavy and 70 bucks, it had silver in it . They also had a flux pen , anyone ever use one of them ..

Cool soldering in high school , we didn't have that class ..

From my experience ,soldering transistors is easy business..with a cheep pump and loads of flux.. I like lots of flux , flux just seems to conduct heat upon contact ..

But man these modern machines have tiny traces .

Great input
Thanks again

The soldering trace pen was way too expensive for me anyway and it seemed gimmickry .. I've had crap luck using braid.. What about a flux pen ?

I fixed it up continuity checks out so hope for the best
