Hey guys, I'm working on a Williams "Big Guns" and I need some help on a few items.
First, yesterday I rebuild the two lower flippers, they are working great but the original configuration of the left flipper was not the same as the right one. The right EOS switch has one of the capacitors installed but the left one did not. When I rebuilt the left flipper I added the new cap on it as well. Is there a reason why one side would have the cap and not the other? I'ts working fine but I was just wondering.
Also, after rebuilding the right flipper, I turned the game on to test it and everything was working great. After I rebuilt the left flipper, when I powered the game back on my score display was not working. After a little troubleshooting I found that one of the 1/10 fuses were blown. I replaced the fuse and the display works again but it's a little messed up. I posted a video at the link below:

The left lower segment had issues that I already knew about but those "r r r r's" going across the top two segments are new, they showed up after I replaced that fuse...
I checked and rechecked all of my connections but nothing changes the display. Any suggestions on where I should look next?
Finally, my back box lighting is not working properly, well half of it isn't anyways.. The right side of the back box lighting seems to work fine but the entire left side is not. I cant get any power to the flashers and the gi's but if I put lamps in the area behind the gun they are extremely bright, like blindingly bright, I actually took them out because it's so bright that it distracts you while trying to play the game.
I'm bringing this game back from the dead, it's been sitting in a dinner for years with an "out of order" sign on it. Looks like the last person who took care of it did some pretty creative repairs to it to say the lest. There are some rubber bands being used in place of missing/broken springs. Duct tape, electrical tape, zip ties, and a few other things that I'm not even sure how to explain. Any help on this is very much appreciated, thanks.
