Hi, I have a Gorgar that i recently moved. I took off the back box and removed the play field, moving each part separately. when removing the back box I tipped it forward onto the cabinet and then lifted it off putting in down standing up but there was something loose in the box. When putting it together a board screw came out so i thought that was the noise. When i turned on the machine the GI fuse blew and so did it's replacement. i re-connected all the plugs and blew another fuse so naturally i unplugged all the connectors one by one and turning on the machine. Eventually the connector running the play field lights is what was making the fuse blow. I can't find any shorts in the yellow or white yellow wires. The 2 yellows from the power read 7.4vac does that matter that it's higher than the 6.3vac that it's supposed to be? Could there be a short behind a board in the box (more than one screw rolling around)? I've read every post i could find and still tracing wires. I guess next i'll remove all the yellow wires from the top of the 20a fuse (saw in another post) and put them back one by one to try and narrow it down that way but seems like the unplugging the harness connectors would do the same thing.
