So I've almost got my triple action done and when I was redoing a cold solder joint it fell off well I forgot to unplug the machine and it touched a negative wire and since I had the wrong size fuses in it, it blew a coil. So does anyone know what fuses go in it and the voltage and amps of them and does anyone know where the cheapest place to buy them is?

If it's a glass tube with metal caps on the end fuse. It should be marked on one of the sides of the metal cap.

Auto parts store or hardware store might have them. No idea on cheapest, especially if you have to pay shipping.

I know they where glass fusses but what size like amps and volt?

It should say on one of the ends.

They should be labeled on the fuse holder. Is the label missing?

The values are also listed on the schematic, you'll just need to match the wire colors up to tell which is which

Home Depot stocks a wide assortment of slow blowing BUS fuses, a great brand. You'll pay twice what the pinball parts companies charge but; you won't have to pay S&H, and you can pick them up today and get you game back up and running today.

Don't use slow blowing fuses unless the game specifically calls for them.

Yeah, generally EMs don't it seems?

Even with the correct fast blow fuse I find I tend to melt coils before the fuses blow. They could probably do with some under-fusing really.
