Hello there.

I have a fuse question about my DataEast MNF. I blew F5 fuse which knocked out my flippers. I am having trouble finding a Buss MDX4 125V fuse. Question 1: Are MDL and MDX fuses interchangeable on pinball machines if the amperage (4) and voltage (125) is the same? If not, where can I find an MDX 4 125v fuse? I am also having issues with the gutter switches that I think is related. All three switches pass the continuity test with the volt meter but the game is registering missing ball(s) when turned on. (I did have a 4Amp 32V fuse in when trying the switch test but it blows when a flipper is pushed, obviously). Question 2: Does anyone know if the gutter switches would also be affected by the blown F5 fuse installed or 32v fuse in its place? I ask because if I need to order parts I was thinking I could get them all at once. BTW, the switch test failed on the gutter switches and all other switches pass testing. Thank you in advance so much for any guidance!

Thank you so much for your response and the correct place to put the post. For now I can get the correct fuse installed and move on to the switches. That explains why 250V is so popular, as with MDL. I was testing with my finger, not the ball or anything metal. However I did check to make sure the switch was activated by the ball, listening for the faint click sound. THANKS AGAIN!
