Try to be concise here. Rt flipper on metpro blew a fuse. Replaced with correct fuse and immediately blew again when machine turned on. When turning on flipper "ran itself" once while blowing that fuse. Replaced with WRONG fuse 7a vs 3a. (Oops) when turning on machine that time it fried the coil. Smoke. Odor. Etc. Coil sleeve nearly stuck but I can maneuver it out.
Bought new coil and fuses. Before I start replacing it all is there anything I should be checking before I turn games on so I don't smoke another coil?

Thanks

Oh crap. Really, Lloyd? Is that what I am up against? I know you are a go to guy. Is there ANY chance you could be wrong??? Lol. Crap

I guess the good news is that I am not so pissed that the game didn't update now...since it is unplayable.

Quoted from LTG:

Hell yes. It would be conceited to think any one person is perfect or knows everything.
Easy to pull the board and with a meter check the transistor that is shorted and compare readings to other ones nearby that aren't shorted. And as long as you have the board out replace it.
LTG : )

Since I want to make sure we are reading each other right I will add I meant no offense with my question, I just can't see well enough to solder on a board!

Quoted from LTG:

Anyone local that can assist you with the repair ?

Yep. Probably not this weekend but that's my problem! Thanks for helping not blow another coil!

BTW, was this just 'one of those thing" or did I possibly do something wrong with the machine? My grand kids were playing and they have a tendency to um....hit the flippers more than needed...
