I just noticed, as I'm delving in deeper to my first arcade cabinet restoration, that my Atari Centipede Mini has a bypassed F3 fuse on the power supply. Both sides of the wire are orange. They're connected directly together.
I don't have a wiring diagram for this machine yet - can someone tell me the purpose of this circuit and/or where I can get s wiring diagram to troubleshoot why someone felt it necessary to bypass it?
The machine worked (without smoke!) before I started taking bits off of it for restoration, so I know it was doing what they intended, at least for a little while.
Thanks in advance...
