During my full shopping of a funhouse the lower GI keeps blowing. It takes a 5 amp fuse, but the Bob Roberts 3 amp fuse breaker has worked great.
There are times where I mess with lamp sockets and it will go for 40 minutes of game play before it blows the breaker / fuse. Sometimes it is immediate it blows the fuse. I have removed a bulb at a time on all of the GI chain and it is the same story.
couple questions. Keep in mind it blows the breaker and 5 amp fuses within 40 minutes.
1. I am pretty sure it is a short, but could it be a thing with the header pins and connectors?
2. Do I need to unsolder the sockets to isolate this?
It is making me hate pinball and I want to cry. I am going insaner. I have some new sockets on the way and have everything to change the headers and connectors.
