Still not out of the woods. Replacing the buttons and rewiring according to the schematic did resolve 2 problems:
1. when I plug in the button panel molex, it does not blow an 8A fuse.
2. The service/change light works.
The machine still runs well with panel button molex disconnected.
Problems that still remain:
1. where do I look to reinstate the function of cash credit, bet1, spin reel, play max.
2. there is a buzzing from the coin acceptor, and it stops when I deposit 2 quarters (max bet). This problem I believe is unrelated to the
above and started before I made any recent changes.
I just got a set038 in the mail today.
Next step to try and run diagnostics.
Undoing someone else's errors is challenging.
