I have been working on a T2. G.I. connector J115 had burnt and was hacked into three connectors along with a half ass header. J120 was also burnt. I have replaced both connectors and headers. Had to fix a few through hole connections on J115 with a wire stitch.
Problem is that Fuse F108 is getting really hot. If all the bulbs are put in the G.I. string, the fuse eventually blows. I have checked visually for any wires shorting on anything. Visually inspected each socket and all look good. Used the trick from pinrepair and removed all the bulbs from the string and tested at the fuse with a good bulb. Bulb did not light which should mean no shorts on the playfield.
Right now I have about 10 bulbs from this string removed. They are all in the backbox. The fuse is not hot with these removed. Maybe a tad warm. Using brand new #47 bulbs on the playfield and new #555 on the backglass(well when they were installed). I have done all the checks on pinrepair. Each pin has proper [FONT=verdana,arial,helv,helvetica][SIZE=-1]continuity[/SIZE][/FONT] to its corresponding fuses or triacs.
I did notice that I was getting about 7.9v AC when I tested the G.I. string associated with F108. I tested another string and was also getting 7.9v AC. Would this be my issue? Pinrepair says 6.3v to 7.3v. Would that be a bad transformer in the bottom of the cabinet?
