I wanted to lower the value for the GI fuse, which is 20A original.
If you look closely at the wires, you will see there are four wires comming together at the fuse.
Two of them goto the backbox.
These can be split into 2 strings of 19 and 20 lamps.
That way a 5A fuse for each will suffice.
The other two are for the playfield string and the cabinet (coin door).
The playfield can't be split and will have to be fused with 10A.
The coin door only has 2 or 3 lamps, so an 1A or 2A fuse will do.

Also a wise precaution is a Special Solenoid Saver board.

Just a small update ..
Finally removed the glue from the playfield .
Was just using Isocol and flour and it was taking hours

I got some De-Solv-it and with flour and using a old credit card the glue was easier removed

 

For future reference. White Spirit ( Available at Bunnings) which is a bit like Turps in that you can use it to mix with or clean enamel paint, turns the glue to a loose liquid like state and it can be easily wiped off with a rag. White Spirit will not affect cured paint.. same as turps, so its perfectly safe to use. You can also remove all the mylar  if you are patient enough. Ive used it on the most fragile of playfields and all the artwork has remained intact..

Gav..
