Quoted from crujones4life:Replaced fuse and the motor turned for a split second then fuse blew... can I jumper where the fuse goes to temporarily see if it gets game going? Do I have a short or is voltage to high?
I'd try to find what's blowing the fuse. Test all your coils, make sure the resistance of everything is at least ~3 ohms. Look for any light sockets that may have shorted against another. If you jumper then most likely something will slowly start to get very hot, which would be handy to find it, except sometimes the thing that gets hot is the wires connecting to it instead. When I got mine there were a ton of melted wires in the mess on the score motor
Quoted from crujones4life:Ok noisy coil is ball index relay. It stays activated after anything is scored and deactivated after ball drains. Is this normal behavior? How do I quiet this thing?
Common for the ball index relay, lock/hold relay, and coin door reject relay to buzz. They're on pretty much all time time, so they get worn. There's basically divots/etc on the coil top and the plate it pulls in making noise from the vibration. It's the same reason that flippers on EMs buzz when they're held in (plunger grinding against coil stop). It'll be a lot less noticable with the game all closed up and the glass on, I usually just ignore it.
You can try tweaking the springiness of the spring on them, or making the switches less strong, to put less of a strain on it, but it usually doesn't work that well. Sometimes I have success just sticking a piece of electrical tape between the coil and the plate, but sometimes that does nothing. Can also try taking the plate off and trying to grind it smooth. The best solution is to just replace the coil and plate, but I don't usually find it worth it.
