Very well done slash. Looks amazing and I'll bet it plays really well ?

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. I actually haven't had a game yet. I fired it up and nothing blew up or burned so that was a start. Everything lit up too which was a relief.

But it keeps blowing the 25v 5amp slo-blo fuse on the bottom board when it goes thru the startup procedure. I believe that fuse is for the coils?

Could this be the result of a dodgy bridge rectifier? I was testing them as per Clays guide but I don't know if my diode setting on my DMM is in a different scale? It says the value should read between .4 and .6. Well I am getting readings between 400 and 600? Either my DMM has a different scale or they are screwed. I gotta do an order from RTBB so I may buy a couple just in case.

The only other dodgy thing is a couple of the displays have a number missing. On two of them they were there but after messing around they dropped out again. So each display has a number out. Not sure why?

The other annoying thing is molex don't do 21 pin connectors anymore. I stupidly thought I will buy a 22 pin and cut the end off. Well I didn't consider the spaces in them are wrong  so I had to cut them out with a Stanley knife, so I'm not sure if that's causing a dodgy connection on A1-J3 and A3-J3 which might be causing some gremlins.
