Hmm, not sure what could have caused this based on the information given. Usually almost everything metal is grounded, so if some live wire touched that it would short out, but (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) there are fuses behind everything that goes to the playfield, so they should go first.
I figure something has shorted out one of the transformer windings, and that is causing some voltages to be out. You'll have to track down which one. I'd start by checking fuses and voltages in the backboard at least.
CPU is probably okay.
