Recently replaced my 11 pin connector which plugs into J120 on the power board, this of course supplies power to the playfield general illumination so like a lot of other games it was burnt.
One month later I notice a burning smell and finally realize it's from J115, the 12 pin connector that powers the illumination behind the translite.
Why is this such a common problem? I know that the wires and pins heat up due to excessive current flow and eventually the plastic fails, but why does this happen?
Is this a design flaw? Did they not take into account that the general illunination lights would be on constantly? Something to do with the age of the machines?
