Pre-WPC-95 bridges, filter caps and fuses by supply
BR1 with C6 and C7 (15,000 mfd 25 V) feeds F114: +18 V for the lamp columns, which then passes Q2 (LM7812) and F115 to make regulated +12 V for the switch matrix. BR2 with C5 (15,000 mfd 25 V) feeds F113: +5 V logic, the most failure-prone set (also upgrade C4). BR3 with C8 (100 mfd 100 V) feeds F112: +50 V solenoids. BR4 with C11 (15,000 mfd 25 V) feeds F111: +20 V flashers. BR5 with C30 (15,000 mfd 25 V) feeds F116: unregulated +12 V for playfield devices, optos, the DMD and the coin door. On the Fliptronics II board BR1 with C2 (100 mfd 100 V) feeds F901-F904, +50 V for the flippers; later boards leave C2 off and it is not needed.
