Yep, still connected on the 240v input to the primary side of the transformer. The three cables on the secondary side are ALL unplugged.

I will disconnect the input into the transformer and test a fuse that way.

Ugh....IF the transformer is stuffed (2nd transformer, two pinball machines now dead), how do I know or fix the machine so it won't blow a third transformer? I was thinking about having a viking funeral for X-Files. Maybe put it on some wheels, set it on fire and then push it down a hill.....haha....I can only laugh at this point.....*wipes tears away*
