Black Hole
Gottlieb, 1981Dropped the hammer and done it. Went with pinball life leds concave for the white Gi with 3 leds in the 2 bumpers closest to the flippers. Color matched inserts and pop bumpers. Now for some reason just out of no where it blows the gi fuse. Lift the pf up check everything and cant fond anything wrong. Put another fuse in it its fine. This has happend twice. Anyone have this problem?
Before
I had the same problem with my totan backboard. It ended up being one of the bayonet style bulbs. One of the wires on the bulb was bent over touching both contacts. I pulled all the bulbs and straightened the leads out, put all the bulbs back, replaced the fuse and it worked fine. To test this theory use your dmm and test continuity across one of the sockets in the line. If it's what I think you will have continuity because one of the bulbs is creating a short. If no continuity, you've got some other problem. Hope this helps. Good luck and update when you get it figured out.
