Replaced the transistor, coil and fuse and it's still blowing the fuse.
The other games I've worked on this usually is caused by a bad transistor.
Any ideas what else to check?

seems like the wiring is dead shorting to ground somehow. What happens when you leave a wire off the coil? does it blow? Diode on correctly?
Diodes are correct, this one has 2. The game was having this problem before I got it.
I'll try it today with a wire off the coil and report back.
double winding on something that is not a flipper. That's unusual. I've never really studied the coils when I had stargate.
that means it's something else. You should use brakers at this point, so you don't piss through fuses. you seem to have a direct short going on, especially since it does it before the game even boots.
