Update

When sliding the pf along rails I did notice earlier the wiring loom snagged real hard. I just found the blue/red wire broken. Also upon reinstalling the wiring loom to the pf I noticed a break in the braid near a T intersection and guessed it needed to be connected to this section. I unsoldered this prior to tonights test in hope this could have been the cause of a short. I think this is why aux lamp lights were dead. Resoldered, fixed the broken wire and now have flashers, and most controlled lamps back on board. F5 still gets real hot so couldn't check to see if all lamps are a go.

So current status is knocker coil removed from circuit, tip102 probably bad but not tested and unproven yet, F5 20amp fuse gets hot and suspect will blow again if game left on, but unproven yet. Game does boots as per normal otherwise and would play I suspect but unproven as got J1 disconnected now after making this observation.

What should I try now, or is it back to look for a short? Thanks for your patience on this one
