So I had some non pinball people over from work playing pinball, there was crazy chipping going on. One lady on the team probably was doing 2 flips per second regardless of where the ball was on the playfield. At one point someone came over to me and told me SoF flippers were dead.

I checked the fuse F7 and it was blown. The fuse that was in there was a 6A SB. The fuse that I replaced it with was a 5A SB. Checking the manual later this should actually be a 4A SB.

Anyways, after putting the 5A fuse in, the right flipper gave a couple flips, the left flipper gave some sorry attempts, the upper flippers just sat there, and then the fuse blew again.

Any advice on next steps much appreciated.

Well, if you've overfused, it's possible you've damaged something else.

At this point, I'd check the coil, EOS switch, cabinet switches and the diodes on the coil.

Check the resistance of the coil windings.. are any of them shorted? If you move the flipper bats by hand, do they move up and down smoothly?

Check the gaps on the EOS and cabinet switches. Are they open at the right times, and closed at the right times?

Check the diodes on the coils. Are any of them shorted?

And the winner was... a totally melted coil. The EOS had gone out of alignment. Coil replaced, correct fuses put in, all ok now. Thanks guys!
