I'm working on a TZ that has been possessed lately. Lots of resetting, fuses blowing, etc.
I am swapping out the coil that kicks balls into the shooter lane (because, oddly, the center of the coil has an unidentified melted mass inside it so the plunger can't be pulled through). I cut off one of the wires, and then stripped it. And the power in the room went out and came back immediately.
It actually happened twice in rapid succession, as I touched the wire twice. Incredulously, I did the same thing again, stripping the wire with my tool, and it happened again. Not only was it the circuit the game is connected to, but power to the *entire* house went out.
(No circuit breakers were tripped).
WTF is going on?!?
