Quoted from djblouw:Also, on the same SBM, a switch was installed under the pf. Haven’t figured out what it’s for yet.

Quoted from JethroP:Example: Before and after....solder and heat shrink. After this bundle is zip tied together you don't even notice they were ever repaired!

With that many wires, would a better alternative be to just pin them and make a Molex connection?

I'd have expected a broken fuse clip - maybe one was just loose -
Dodged a bullet when I did a similar thing recently while diagnosing a GI problem - had a game that was blowing the 25a GI fuse after about 10min.
Thought I had the problem fixed, so hooked up a 20a breaker via alligator clips to the 25a fuse clips, and about 20 min later when I checked on it, one of the clips that was attached to the game had literally heated up and smoldered away without blowing the breaker.
Quoted from Gotpins: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.
Same here (see above) but just because I'm lazy and haven't soldered blown fuses into the circuit breakers that I use. Will probably do that now though.

Quoted from ForceFlow:A lot of people have surprisingly little know-how or curiosity about how things work, and then completely panic when something stops working or doesn't work like they expect it to. I see it all the time.
It's a little mind boggling to me how people like that can drift through life without having at least a general idea about how some things work or knowing at least some basics of biology.
I know of someone who tried watering their plants with vinegar and had no idea why they were suddenly dying. Both are liquids, so it's good for plants right? *Water*ing has a fairly big key word in the action there. It's not called vinegaring your plants, after all...
My stepson was like that, much as I tried to teach him. His car was in the shop every 2 months. Every noise he heard, everything that "felt" weird - he didn't bother to investigate anything. "Mom, we gotta drop the car off at Joe's." "Joe's" was 20 miles away, and someone had to take time out of the day after work to follow him there, drop the car off, and go back and pick it up 2 days later and pay $250.
He came in the house one day -
"Mom, the car has to go to Joe's."
I ask what's wrong.
"It's leaking radiator fluid".
"Is it a hose? Can you tell where it's coming from?"
"I didnt check."
"Let's go take a look".
Radiator cap was loose.
Drove me fucking crazy.

Flipper plate holes stripped?
No problem! I have some long screws around here, don't i?
This game also holds the record for most burned out bulbs of any game I've ever bought - virtually every GI light was burned out, in addition to the baked backbox connector. They musta only played it with the basement lights on cause they couldn't have seen the ball otherwise.

There are 4 nail holes if you look closely - the 4th one is peeking out from under the apron.

Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:It is wine believe it or not. The game actually smells like wine too. That is a first for me. Usually they smell like cigarettes.
I bought a Scared Stiff that was in an ice cream parlor, it smelled like waffle cones for 6 months, which was kinda awesome......
