I noticed that the flash bulbs under the corkscrew ramp weren't working, so I replaced them. The problem that caused the problem, it would appear, is that those flashers stay on permanently. Even I know enough to recognize that's a bad thing, so I took one out and shut them both off.
Is there a relatively easy fix, or do I need to bring in a technician? I am willing to learn, and this might be a good opportunity. Thanks! |

Check near by for a small board with a resistor. That machine uses a keep warm circuit on the flasher bulbs. If that resistor is shorted, you will have the problem you are describing. If that is not the problem, I will give you the alternative. Not as easy but I can talk you through it.
