Picked this gem up this week and I'm loving it without even having played it.

Here is where I am at, and I'm not sure where to start. Working without the manual unfortunately. If you have scans......
Otherwise I'll be ordering one shortly.

Flippers, slingshots and all the bumpers are dead. None of the coils are firing.

They do work for the drop targets and all the kick out holes. They register (sounds, points etc) but dont fire.

Fuses are all good, except 26 (or was it 46, I need to double check) which had a blow 2 amp in there. Swapped a new one in and it blew right away. Without a manual I don't even know what that fuse is for or who the coils are interconnected.

Are the power for all these coils routed through the small capacitor board? Or is it more likely there is a break somewhere in the line feeding power to these coils? (assuming they are daisy chained). I wish I had a circuit diagram to check.

I need to check the coils for voltage as I just took a brief look at the machine last night.

Any suggestions on a starting point?

Thanks so much!

Getting weirder now too. The moment I start a game all general illumination goes dead.

Crap. Hadn't even noticed that, since I had not downloaded it yet. Thanks though. Also thanks for the info, will dig into it with that.
