    Hi everyone

    I just acquired a South Park pinball and I love it but the Mr Hanky assembly was unplugged

    So I plugged it in and immediately locked so I turned the game off immediately

    The driver board was sent to Chris H and is fully repaired and replaced the bad driver transistor and other items during his services

    I am expecting the board back and now I’m nervous about plugging mr hanky back in as I do not know the history or the machine and the Q13 was replaced poorly upon inspection

    What should I check on his assembly . everything moves freely

    I just don’t wish to damage the newly repaired driver board

    Appreciate any help to troubleshoot what would it caused the Q13 to short out

    Thanks

    A locked on coil doesn’t blow a transistor instantly.
    You have a small window to check things out when locked on.
    To be safe I never let them lock up more then 10 seconds.
    Also check what ever fuse used for that coils wasn’t over fused!
    You should be safe installing everything and turning the machine back on,if the coil locks up,just turn off pin,won’t be any damage to transistor.
