For the second time in a month the solenoid fuse on my Barracora has blown. F2 on the schematic, 2.5 amp slo blo. It doesnt appear to happen in game play. Both time’s I’ve just come down and turned on and it won’t start a game. Both times I’ve replaced the fuse and it has played happily for the rest of the evening and on subsequent days...then tonight it happened again. What should I start checking to find the underlying cause...what are the probable culprits? Thanks for any advice.
 
Easiest place to start would be to check all the coil resistances to make sure they are in spec.

possibly in rush of current when you power it on. As well as checking the solenoids (doubtful), you may want to replace the capacitors on the power board.
 
Thank you for your advice. I’ll update on developments
