Hello to all!

So I have a Funhouse which used to have a Rudy that will have a normal sleep pattern, eyes will open, close, move to the left, right, eyelids up and down, normal... but yesterday after several hours of playing, I noticed that the only thing moving is his mouth, nothing else. So before getting into the task of disassemble Rudy's head is there something I should check before?

Many thanks!

I'm hoping that is the reason, a loose connection... not looking to make a facial on Rudy... I'll report once I get a chance to work on it.

Thanks!

Hello... so I checked the connector J122 (reseated, tight it up) and noticed that the fuse F-104 was blown (3A S/B). I replaced the fuse and it blown again after I turned on the machine... *sigh* any idea on what to do next?

Many, many thanks!

So I was (finally) able to check the machine out, all the coils under the play field seemed fine, all the connections tight and so forth. I decided to unplug the connector that "feeds" Rudy's eyes, popped a new fuse and turned on the machine, the fuse didn't blow; turned off the machine, plugged back the connector... boom! fuse blown immediately. So I guess the "short" or problem is on Rudy's head... I just removed Rudy's covers to check the obvious but everything from outside seems fine (no loose cable or hardware laying down). I know I have to remove Rudy from the play field but with the above symptoms, what would be your best guess that is causing this short?

Many thanks for your input!
