I actually went and saw this game, a Pinbot and a Big Guns the seller had. They all had this power supply "repair" done to them along with strange connectors and cut wires that were no longer needed. The pinbot had some silicon repairs made to broken plastics. They apparently were stored in moist conditions. Some battery acid damage too. They all seem to want to reset or not boot. I have too many projects to even consider them plus they are looking for top dollar so I walked.

By the dirt stain....it looks like it had one at some point.

LOL, I've done this before. Works great!

Hahaha! I’ve done this instead of waiting for connectors…just to see if I could get a machine working.

I do this one a lot as a quick fix when trying to get a game working and the fuse holder is weak or broken. It’s also a good way to use up the physically smaller fuses (of the same value) that come as part of the big Amazon fuse kit. If I’m tracking down a problem that keeps blowing a fuse, I use up the physically smaller fuses of the same value in the kit instead of blowing the correct ones while tracking down the problem. Then once the problem is fixed, I remove the jumpers and install the correct fuse.

Cool! Now what the hell am I going to do with all those smaller fuses?

You gotta give the guy credit…it’s fricken genius!

Wow! just Wow! LOL!

Lol! Unbelievable!

lol! I do this ALL the time. That stupid little fuse is hard to find and expensive.
