Hey guys. Working on my Road Kings and could use a little assistance. Game is currently getting a lot of daily play, and after about a week I started having issues with my Rt. Flipper. Before I really knew what was going on, I blew the flipper coil fuse in the backbox. Suspected the Rt. Flipper due to eratic behavior. Went in and replaced the coil, sleeve and fuse. Few minutes later, another fuse blew. Never had any issues with this previously.

I am starting to suspect a bad transistor on the driver board. Is there a good way to test these, and what is the approximate location for the flipper transistors? Is there anything else I should be looking at? The EOS looks good with about a 1/8" gap.

Any help or ideas appreciated.

Grabbed a pic from the interwebs, sorry about the quality. The fuse that keeps blowing is the one in the lower left corner of the picture. br02 (resized).JPG

It is the 5A Slo-Blo on the flipper power supply board. Does not look like the fuse itself has a identifier. I can confirm the fuse blows immediately when the Rt. Flipper is pressed. The L Flipper does not affect it at all, and can be used repeatedly until the Rt Flipper is pressed.

For sure. I will grab a pic this evening to make sure I didn't screw up the swap-out.

I double checked the wiring and everything was OK. Then I noticed the sleeve had melted and part of the EOS had sheered off, likely due to one of the guide leafs touching. Parts are on order, replacing the leaf assembly before going any further. I'll check back in once the parts arrive and are installed.

Thanks everyone for the outpouring of support.
