Hello -

I'm new to owning/maintaining pinballs... I have a Taxi that keeps blowing the 2amp F5 fuse (right flipper).

I can play the game for 10-15 minutes, then the fuse gives out...

Other than this issue, the game functions perfectly...

I know I might not be providing all the info you may need, but is there anybody out there than can point me in the right direction as to what I can look at? I'm fairly mechanical/technical - I just don't have much experience working with pinball machines.

Regards,

Bob

Hi Bob, welcome to the forum. My first guess is a problem with the EOS, maybe not gapped properly/not opening all the way.

Vid's guide to flippers is loaded with info and probably has pics of what you need.

BTW - The EOS switch was the issue.... You were correct!

The links you provided helped me identify and replace the part. Thanks again!
