I just picked a really nice Flash Gordon project machine. I have been going through the required checks before powering it on and I noticed I noticed the under playfield fuse holder is broken and a jumper wire was installed. I will buy a new one but I have some fuse questions which I cannot find in the manual:
1) What is the required fuse for under the playfield?
2) What is the required fuse for the panel mount fuse on near the transformer and rectifier board?
3) What is the required fuse for the in-line one in the black connector by the rectifier board?

Is this information in the manual somewhere and I am missing it?

Thanks,
Dave

Under field: See page marked "Wiring Diagram Playfield". At the top of the middle section (solenoids), the fuse is marked 1A SB.

I'm thinking the panel mount is 3A SB. See page marked "Power Supply Schematic", upper left corner next to J1 Pin 1.

Not sure about the inline one.

Maybe some help over at pinwiki.com.

page 28 has some fuse info.

I will get you pictures and try to check values on mine for you.

Thanks all.
Page 28 has the info on the rectifier board mounted one which I saw. The only one left is #3 which is next to what looks like a small transformer.

solenoid driver in backbox is listed on pg25 F1 8AG 3/16 Amp

another fuse in holder under PF by ball trough says 125V 2 1/2 on it.

power module as seen on pg28 and also printed on the board are

F3 4A 32V 3AG
F1 20A 32V 3AG
F4 5A 32V 3AG
F2 3/4A 250V 3AG
F5 20A 32V 3AG

left to right as looking at the board writing upright.
These values are also printed directly on the board.

Thanks so much Shootagain. One last question is regarding plugin in the 2 lead wire to the Squawk & Talk board. I think it goes on the first 2 pins of the connector on the bottom right. Is that correct?

Thanks again!

Hey Shoot Again, if your Playfield fuse is a 2.5, you are way over fused. It should be a 1 amp slo blo
