Re: 20 Amp Fuse Replaced by Wire?

I'd be worried. This could start a fire. A lot of home circuit breakers are
15 amp or 20 amp, this game was blowing it's 20 amp fuse so it was rigged to
not blow it's fuse, so you could easily start a fire in your house. Get that
fixed right before using it. LTG :)

I recently picked up a Cosmic Gunfight and was wondering about something I
noticed on the power board.

In the spot where the 20 amp fuse is supposed to be placed (lower right
corner), the seller instead has placed a looped wire
that appears to go from one end of the fuse holder to the other and
doesn't
seem to travel anywhere else (although I could be wrong
about this last part).

Just wondering if anyone can tell me why this was done and whether it is
something I should be concerned about.

The functions, in general, seem to be working (flipper sticks, many
switches
only register intermittently and there are many dirty sockets causing
inconsistent lights as well but I don't think any of this has to do with
the
wiring).

Thanks, in advance, for your information.
