My pinball machine was blowing a fuse every time I turned it on. Before fixing it, I decided to see if I could photograph it while the fuse was blowing. Sometime it would blow very dramatically and other times it would just glow then break. I was wanting a lot more fireworks but this is the best I could get. I went through 3 fuses and lot of shots using the high speed shutter setting.
I am still troubleshooting the pinball issue. I soldered a new transistor to the main power board with no positive result. Looking at the issue further, it appears I was looking in the wrong place. The solenoid I thought was locking on was fine and it was another one having issues. I just ordered a new solenoid and a pair of new transistors that drive it and I will see later in the week if that fixes my issue.
There is always something new to fix with that machine. I picked it up used from a dealer who had in routed in public places. It was dirty and there was a lot broken with it. After lots of new parts and a crash course in electrical engineering, I got it 100% functional and working. Now I just have to get it back to 100% again.
