So I had a perfectly working FG and I was away for a while. Came back and the employees said it wasn't working. Found the main fuse blown so replaced it and it booted up great. Then started a game to play it and once the right flipper was engaged it blew the fuse again.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Start with checking the EOS switch, possibly not opening or shorted. Steve Kulpas page has a nice page with description and pictures of what you're looking for.

Looks like the flipper switch may have been stuck - what's the best way to keep it from sticking? I got it unstuck but not sure if it'll stick again.

Sweet it was the EOS switch or a stuck switch on the right flipper - now it works - first pinball repair success! Thanks!

Looking at your second picture, the small white cylindrical shaped insulator has broken away from the leaf of the switch (if you look at the leaf by the insulator, you might see a small pinhole there)
