I picked up a project Paragon two weeks ago. I have cleaned up the playefield and it doesn't look bad. The number 3 plastic is a bit roached on the bottom but other than that colors and paint are good. I need a good backglass. I am waiting on rebuild kits for the boards to get it up and running.

In every Paragon video that I have seen the letters at the top right rotate and the letter lit when the ball catches the hole is spotted on the playfield. I am running an Altek MPU and my letters do not rotate. The letters are spotted in sequence when the ball catches the hole. Is this a game setup issue that can be adjusted with the DIP switch settings or is it the way the Altek board is programmed? I have looked at both the Paragon and Altek manuals several times and have not seen how to adjust this feature.

Thanks.

Roger that. thanks!

I am curious how most people folks here set the game. Do they set it conservative or for liberal play?

Is it normal for the F5 20 amp fuse for the GI to get extremely hot? I had another issue I was troubleshooting when I noticed that fuse was too hot to touch.

The fuse has not blown but there was a brown/copper film that had developed on the glass.

Good to know. Thanks.

I have posted elsewhere about the problem i am trouble shooting but will post here as well.

Playing the other night and suddenly lost all coils on the playfield. Voltages on transformer and regulator check out but I am getting no volts to the playfield. The solenoid buss fuse on the playfield is fine but no volts to that point on the brown wire side. Checked pin 6 at J1 on transformer since that is where the 43 volts originate for solenoid bus and it registers 43 volts. However, no continuity from the pin 6 connector to the the brown wire side of playfield fuse.
