From a friend:
It's a common fault with Williams pinball machines from the 80s and early 90s. The two bridge rectifiers mounted on the back box below the power supply are not fused. If one of them fails, it's a direct short back to the transformer and usually affects the wiring going back to that.
Quoted from PinballAir:WOW!!!!
I will remember this when i find a Comet.
Is this the same case for High Speed?
Yes, same for HS. Just add a fuse for each rectifier. Fuse one of the AC lines on each with an 8a fuse.
All system 3 through system 11 machines are affected up to FIRE.
