Quoted from TOKYOSANDBLASTER:I realized the fuses we're all different in the box. It calls for a 2.5amp fuse. I tried 1a and it worked for about a minute and blew, tried 3a and it blew immediately.
After getting a new (old) game one of the first things to do is to check all of the fuse values (amps) and types (fast blow (FB) or slow blow (SB)) and replace them all with the correct fuse (see page 32 of the manual). This is cheap and you know you are starting off right. I usually have good luck calling auto parts stores for fuses.
Also, whenever diagnosing problems look for signs of previous work done, this is usually where the problems are.
