So the pinbot was wheeled in, set up and played a couple of games nicely.
Then one of the bridge rectifiers (my initial guess) went bad and the wiring pretty much all the way to the transformer set fire to itself.
Joy.
Anyway, that's the background..
Q1
I suspect that I should replace all the bundle of wires in that part of the harness.
It seems like only the (solenoid ?) white/red band wiring actually melted - but obviously other wires will have heated - probably degraded - correct?
Q2
Wire gauges.. Multi strand obviously, but any recommendations of wire supplies? Would be great to match colours - but I haven't any spare harnesses and want to ensure the wire I buy is up to the job - reels on eBay have different 'Awg' values - am I looking at 22?
Q3
I spotted the inkochnito driver board to replace these rectifiers (one failed, the other may well not be far behind) - which should avoid this situation happening in the future. I've emailed - but has anyone fitted one? Worthwhile or ?
Many thanks for your experience..
