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.
