After changing some bulbs and lowering the playfield, the saucers, drop target and ball pusher stop working, and a flasher by the right spinner now fires the knocker on every spin.

After a bulb change, coils dead and a flasher fires the knocker: blown supply fuse

Cause: A blown fuse on the power supply board feeding that group of coils. A socket probably shorted while the bulbs were being changed.

Checks

  • Use the manual to find which supply all the dead devices share, then test that fuse out of its clips.
  • Check the backs of recently touched sockets, and harness wires that moved when the playfield was raised, for anything touching.

Fix

  • Replace the fuse with the correct rating and check for the short that blew it.
