Hi all,

My LW3 has decided to take out F5 when the flippers are activated quickly. I have checked the resistance on both coils, ( around 5 ohms) and checked the coil diodes . It has been working for ages until the laser kicker started to play up. It would not occasionally fire. I replaced the coil and mech.I works fine now but now the flippers blow fuses, Bugger!! I have tried the old coil trying to get it back to where it was ......no good. I would really appreciate some guidance as I am chewing through fuses
Cheers... P.S the fuse I am using is a 5 amp slow blow which I believe is right.

Game-Specific Issues

The right flipper button spring can bend out and touch the legs of the shooter coil, causing all manner of strange behavior.

I had this problem. Insulated the coil lugs, problem solved.

Hope this helps.
