Sanyo White Super Sea Story Ball Shooter In-op

[Drunkenclam]

5x20 mm is standard for most glass fuses these day here in europe.
You would have a 1cm glass in between 5mm metal ends, With a 5mm diameter
I'm afraid I don't know any US suppliers.
DON'T forget to make sure the powers off when you change the fuse.

Also reading this thread might help.

But daverob says its either 10A or 15A fuse.
Might be worth just having a quick check through other threads

Good Luck

I got a pachinko once, and it had a bad dongle, it blew the fuse, and then the second, then the third. Pulled the dongle, and the fuse survived.

Got a new dongle in place (threw the bad one away), and all has been good ever since. I think I got mine at a local GOOD hardware store.

My original dongle did have the bad solder and I got it replaced. Maybe the old one blew the fuse. Now that I have a new dongle, hopefully replacing the fuse will work. Waiting for wife to get home, then heading to store. Cross your fingers for me. I will post reulsts.

Well GOOD LUCK,

and make sure that you have NO dongle in for the first power up, this way if it doesn't blow... great. It it does the problem is elsewhere.

Either way... we'll help ya figure it out.

But daverob says its either 10A or 15A fuse.

The 10 or 15A fuse will be the main fuse for the machine, if this one is blown, nothing at all will work, no lights, no LCD.

The dongle fuse is always a T1A 5x20mm fuse this is a 1A (one amp) time delay (slow blow) fuse, and definitely not 7A. It's likely that you have misread the rating on the fuse as 7A is not a commonly available value for these fuses. If it really is 7A then someone else must have misread the value on the original fuse and found a 7A fuse to replace it with. If a 7A fuse has blown in this position, the old dongle must be seriously broken!

If you've already gone and bought some replacement fuses that are a higher value than 1A, then they should be ok for a quick test just to make sure the new dongle works, but they should be replaced as soon as possible with the correct value. If the shooter handle still doesn't work with another fuse fitted, stop testing and unplug the machine until you have the correct 1A fuse, and I wouldn't recommend leaving the machine unattended with an incorrect fuse fitted either.

Oh no!!! Another two hour trek for a 1A fuse? Well, I better get the wife off the machine

Thanks anyways for the news.

If the shooter handle is working ok, then I wouldn't be too concerned about the wrong value fuse. Just pick up some 1A fuses next time you're passing the store, and replace it as soon as you've got the correct value to hand.

1A is a common rating, Radioshack do them
