By redone, do you mean blasted and replated? If so, Who Does that? Ive been out of the pinball loop for a few years....

Quoted from pacman11:

Bump still stuck on this issue..

Displays out? does the game power up and play, just no displays? thats fuse is part of the HV circuit for displays, if you are talking about the P-supply board.
Edit* just saw your original post, you more that likely have a bad component on the power supply, in the HV section. dont overfuse it, you will make it worse. you either need to rebuild( or have rebuilt) the HV section, or install Aftermarket P-supply, or Aftermarket displays.

Quoted from GRUMPY:

Remove 3J2 from the power supply. Replace the 3/8 amp fuse. Turn on the power and watch the fuse, did it blow now? Yes= power supply problem, No= display board problem.

*Most* of the time, if there is a short on the display board, it will pop F2 (+100V) or F3(-100V) the 1/8 amp fuses on the load side of the HV circuit.

Quoted from GRUMPY:

And there not available anymore.

yea they are.
Obsolete? yes.
Mouser or Digikey? no.
But they are out there. Used my last Cathode driver last night. Purchased some this morning.

Quoted from GRUMPY:

The only thing I have found out there is counterfeits that explode when powered up causing more damage to the board. So I am using used board pulls until they are all gone.

Its a crapshoot from China. More than likely their obsolete "new" items are cleaned up pulls, more often than not. Ive been lucky, havent had an issue with ICs from China, yet....

Quoted from RobDutch:

Does anyone know how to make the spinning disks less noisy? (Apart from letting them spin slow or turning them off lol)

white lithium grease, or "plastic" grease
https://www.amazon.com/Super-Lube-92003-Lubricating-Translucent/dp/B0081JE0OO/ref=sr_1_3
doesnt silence them, but quiets them. apply to gears and wipe off excess, after running them a few seconds

I have used Ramps

Quoted from RobDutch:

My playfield is crooked compared to my cabinet as you can see on the photos.
On the left bottom side the playfield has a lot of room, while on the right bottom side it touches the inside of the cab.
Anything I can do about this?
I don't know if the hinges are the problem or the cabinet itself. [quoted image][quoted image]

you probably already checked this, but, Is your cabinet level side to side in both the front and the back?
