I just picked up a non-working TZ on CL and have a question regarding the powerbox.
After I got the game home and unloaded I did the precursory checks, I powered it up. Immediately I heard a low gutteral sound and then nothing. The circuit that the pin was plugged into tripped and when I lifted the playfield I noticed smoke coming from the power box.
I unplugged the game and removed the power box to see that the thermistor was fried and the inline fuse was bypassed.
This is a re-import from Germany. Has anyone seen this behavior before or have any knowledge on the cause? Thanks.
