EM Chicago coin Sound stage help - cross connected the two like-size molex plugs from the body to the head (see pic), and left it on for 10 min while distracted by a friend. Came back noticed it stillhad a power hum. Unplugged, corrected the connections, tried to power on, wont power on. Checked the fuse board underneath. It totally fried the 15A 30V fuse (see pic). Replaced it, and now wont power on. Need to start testing the fuse holders, etc., but given the mistake did I just fry the transformer or something awful? Was fully working before moving it ug

Hi Rolf,

Thanks for the input! I fiddled some more last night and was thankfully able to power on. Appears to be a combo of a weak fuse holder for the one i fried, and a bad molex connection for backbox GI as part 2. Game is thankfully working again, altho i noted it went from a 5 ball game to a 3 ball after replacing fuses etc.
