Thanks for the info. Kenny, I'll give pinside a try. Also I have the operations manual and I'm willing to take pics if that helps out.
Oh, and I looked at the voltage and amperage the fuse uses, and I bought and replaced the bad fuse with the correct one

Hello, I have a Space Station pinball machine and need a little help. On the power supply board there is a fuse (f3) that keeps blowing for some reason, I have replaced the fuse multiple times and still the same thing. Could anyone tell me why this is?  

-thanks

So I was unplugging and replugging in connectors and this happened:



-boardset



-startup




-after startup


Is this a good sign?

Jumpman~ "i'm building a nintendo cabinet from scratch and need some help. I still don't know if it's going to be a donkey kong, donkey kong jr, or 3."

I would go with dk 1 or mario bros, depends on what you like more. Oh and beutiful job on the cabinet! 

Thanks ian and p2, I will try to test everything out tonight, hopefully the boards just need a little tune up!

Hey johns arcade forum users! I have been watching the johns arcade videos for quite some time now and I just have to say, they are very useful (thanks John!). Anyway I have started to get into the arcade game collecting a few months back and have a few games now (before I was a retro home game collector). Looking forward to the forums!

Hey guys! I have a defender all original cab and there is a possible board issue, I think it might be the ram chip on the main pcb. What happens is when I turn the game on it makes the startup sound but comes up with a blue screen with yellow dashes from left to right on the top and bottom (I can provide pics if necessary). Thanks and I am very exited to get this up and running!
