Picked up a Planets couple of weeks ago. Everything is working perfect except if you score a bonus over 10k, the 4amp magnet fuse blows.
Anyone have a fix?

Probably a bad bridge rectifier.

Along with replacing the bridge rectifier I would change out the capacitor as well.

It could be that the magnet overheated at some point, and is shorted. Check it with an ohm meter. I don't know what the resistance value should be, but if it's anywhere near zero, it's shot.

what size rectifier would i need? i dont see the part # on the sheet

Check out Marco part#112-5000-00

sorry, i dont know enough about these. does the amp rating not matter?

#8 1 year ago

At 35amp 100.volt rating , the bridge is plenty strong enough to be used as a replacement.

replaced the rectifier, and it's still blowing the fuse. guess its the capacitor

My money's on the magnet coil.
