Quoted from ryanwanger:I'm really confused about this. I got a text shortly after from my location (about a mile away) saying that I should check on my games tomorrow because they were having power surges. It's possible this was a coincidence...but it was literally two outages about 60 seconds apart...both at the *exact* moment that I was stripping the same wire in TZ.
Our internet shut off and the router restarted itself...but the clock on the stove didn't reset.
Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
I was afraid to keep working on it, but will probably give it another shot tomorrow.
My TZ has voltage hot even when the game is off. Mine has been rewrired from 220V and the coin door doesn't break the high voltage... so I intend on digging into if they bypassed it when rewiring the transformer. But I still get 60v on the coil when the game switch is OFF. Which it shouldn't be at all.. but maybe yours is similar in someway.. so your shorting is popping the circuit too.
