Royal Flush
Gottlieb, 1976You know with every new machine I always go through all the wires and their solder joints etc. This is what I found on my AX relay. I had to bend the tab (closest to you) down to make the gap but you can see when it was bent up, the new solder job that someone did lined up perfectly with the upper contact. You can also see where it was arching and where things got a bit toasty.
Good find and repair Jason. Those can be tough to figure out unless you see visible burn marks or heavy arcing going on when the machine is running and you have the Playfield up.

Oh wow, that's a crazy one as well. Gotta be sure of your troubleshooting skills and keep looking where you believe something is to catch an issue like that.
Quoted from jodini:You should put some tubing or tape around that one...that's close!
Oh it's getting re-soldered. The scary thing is all the fuses were wrong as well, wrong the bad way too.

They always are, aren't they? I have yet to get a new to me pin that had the correct fuses installed.
Seems like 20A is a favorite.
