Thanks guys I may need someone to look at it. When it cooked I got a tech to repair it but my gut says that if the game is on for a time and I mean not hours but 2-3 I reckon it breaks down due to heat.

When I bought it, I noticed one bulb missing in the bg. When I put one in not long after the GI's died. The tech came and replaced the connectors etc. but they died again 6 months later and I replaced them myself. Then one day after playing a an hour I left it on while having dinner and a talk with the wife I noticed the bg GI going off and smelt burning where I saw the fuse had actually melted but kept contact and caused the pcb fuse holder to melt until the GI died.

So I reckon there is something a miss ths is causing the heat. I have some LEDs in there hoping to drop the heat and voltage draw. Btw where do I set the voltage from 210 to 240?
