I put together my new Paragon last night. On the J1 slot on the rectifier board the plug isn't marked that well and can go in both ways (upside down). I want to make sure I've got it in right.

From left to right on the board, are the J1 connector wire colors supposed to be....

White Green (Empty)(Empty) Orange Brown Blue Red

This is how I have it plugged in now.I could take a picture if the description isn't good enough.
It worked great like that except the F1 fuse is blowing and the playfield lights don't work, a la this guy...so I want to be sure about this plug.

Thanks for the help. @Dr Azzy, yeah I have a manual I was overwhelmed at the time and not confident in my interpretation of the schematic.

I bought a pack of 10A fuses and went through everything suggested on the rgparchive post. The fuse only blows on when J1 is plugged in. It does not blow when J2 and J3 are plugged in and J1 isn't.

When I had the back box door open as I tried a fuse, the active under playfield lights went on. Then I closed the door, heard a hummmmm, and the fuse blew.

I put in another fuse, closed the door gently and currently the active under playfield lights work. I even played a few games. I'm sure if I wiggled the back box door the fuse would blow again. So, not sure if that sounds like a bridge rectifier problem or what.
