Quoted from darcangeloel:As a rule from now on when I buy a machine I'm pulling every fuse.
I do this with EVERY machine I get. I don't care if it came from a high end collector or was a container re-import. "Hacks" are not exclusive to the Europeans. I've seen the same stuff in "collector quality" machines.
Quoted from darcangeloel:I haven't replaced any fuses yet as my guess is someone did this for a "reason" and I assume that just putting in the right fuses and firing up the game will just cause them to pop.
I think the more common reason is the fuse used is the easiest and quickest one that the person had on-hand to make the machine work again.
Quoted from darcangeloel:Does anyone see anything odd about the way the aux power board and power supply board are wired (Nothing jumps out at me but who knows).
On brief inspection ... the wiring looks factory to me. I only initially suspect non-factory wiring (prior re-work). What concerns my (not-so) discerning eye is something that looks like electrolyte leakage on the power supply board from the radial capacitor at C9.
