    Quoted from Toluqueno369:

    I was looking at the manual that showed which transistor belong to the flippers but it doesn’t show which one. <snip> Any suggestions?

    This is the flipper wiring diagram. Page 3-20 of the manual.

    A common cause of what you're describing is an incorrectly gap (likely too close) between the EOS contacts.

    Quoted from Toluqueno369:

    So I took your advice and opened them. I left a 1/16 of a gap and it worked for a bit, played a few games and the fuse popped again. I grossly opened it and to my surprise the flipper worked however this time the fuse almost instantly popped.

    Two things:

    1. The EOS in The Game Show is a normally CLOSED switch. The gap applies to when the flipper hits the end of the stroke not when the flipper is at rest. Fliptronic flippers are normally open.
    2. What I see in your attached image is that your flipper solenoid is not wired correctly. Look closely at the wiring diagram and at the way your flipper solenoid is wired.
