Strikes and Spares Bally, 1978

During the solenoid test it will usually make it through the whole sequence once or twice before blowing the fuse, firing each coil at least once.
I'm using a 1 amp slo blo fuse, the sticker was missing, and I couldn't see on IPDB, so I'm guessing on the fuse. Most others used the 1 amp, is this machine different?
All the coils test at 11 to 12 ohms.
I put in a regular 2 amp fuse and it doesn't blow after cycling through the test multiple times.

Any help is appreciated. thanks.

It's a 1A SB fuse. If it's blowing don't put in a larger or something worse will blow. If you know which coil blows it replace the coil and diode. Make sure the yellow wire is soldered to the band of the diode.

I had got these ceramic 1 amp slo-blo fuses from the electronics guy and those kept blowing, today I got regular 1 amp ADL and it's working fine. stupid to put a bigger fuse in but I got away with it.
