Quoted from Nikrox2:Another update - if anyone is checking on this posting - So, after what 3 weeks of good playing, the game quit operating again from the coin door. (Could still manually stroke the start relay and it starts), So I went back to what worked before:
"Looking over the schematics and knowing I have the Black wire coming from the Jones plug going no where, and the "looped" Orange wire also not going any where - I decided to once again try to see if these should be connected. (They don't! I blew another 10A fuse) - But, after blowing the fuse (and changing it out) - the start/coin switches are now working again! lol Why??"
Yes, copied & pasted from previous posting - but that got the game going again from the coin door. Blew a 10a fuse, but it's working again.
Anyone have any idea of what this issue is and why this may be "resolving the issue, even if temporary"?
All help is appreciated!
Gut feeling and I've had strange things happen to me with other games. Check the quality of the fuse holder. If the fuse holder contacts are oxidised or are weak from years of being under tension this can cause a large voltage drop across the fuse. You mentioned it started to work again after replacing the fuse. By the act of replacing the fuse you have slightly cleaned the contacts. It's like pulling and pushing on Jones plugs to clean them "I do not condone this action to clean Jones Plugs". It was just an example of the abrasive action caused by two bits of metal rubbing. Hope it's helpful?
