About 3.10 Game Specific Safety & Fire Hazards

Someone posted on Pinside that they are now concerned about their WMS sound board catching fire. I have had a few tantalum caps explode which leaves a char mark, but no true fire. A char mark on a board is pretty common but I have never seen a fire (meaning fire extinguisher or fire department call needed) as a result.

Yes on the WD40.

Certainly the 'missing fuses' on Williams 3 - 7, 9, 11 and DE 1 - 3 are crucial. I suspect a shorted bridge could cause a lot of damage before the line fuse blows. Has anyone seen flames when this happens.

I don't want to overstate nor understate this issue and I know that others have more field experience than I do. I appreciate ForceFlow for bringing this up for attention.
