Mr first Fireball almost turned into one when a coil locked on. There was a lot of smoke.
It is good to make sure all your games are using the correct fuses in every location, but sometimes that is not enough.

Quoted from gdonovan:Yes.
I was picking up a Williams EM from a guy and while there checking out his other pins the EM caught fire from a stepper advance coil being locked on.
We were across the room and like "whats that smell?"
I always feel it's risky business leaving EMs on location now, even though they were on all day back in the day. Toasty old coil wrappers don't help. Perhaps underfusing them or adding fuses might be the answer.
