Hey guys,
So I've had my Pac-Man cabaret for several years now and it's working fine. When I bought it, the previous owner had lights in the coin door which I know isn't OEM. It was running stock. When I restored it, I also changed the fuse blocks.
I decided to install a Happ switcher with the included adapter. Fired it up, dialed in the +5 to the board, and the game has worked perfectly ever since. What I did notice was that my coin door lights were no longer working. I immediately thought of the fuses. Sure enough, both 1A fast blow, and both 5A fast blow fuses are toast. Tried new fuses and they get nuked as well.
Like I said, the game works just fine, I can coin up, marquee light works fine…just can't figure out what the Happ conversion does to blow those 4 fuses. Maybe they're just no longer needed? I would like the coin door lights back, but I don't want to risk dropping larger fuses in, without understanding the issue.
Any help would be appreciate guys and gals!
Jason
