Ring Magnet Fuse Blows Again

Ring Magnet Fuse Blows Again
The 5A SB Fuse at F7 (ring magnet) blew during a long 2-ball DTR and the ball just dropped out after it started oscillating " in the ring.  Which ruined the DTR mode of course.  It's been a long time since a fuse blew, so just replaced it.  Set back to 1-ball DTR.

LOTR Fellowship Inserts
Very  mixed emotions about using LEDs under inserts.  Planning to try a different color for each character in the fellowship, but decided on a more balanced effect.  It's impossible to get a picture of the LED colors, especially blues and greens, but these really do pop in person.
The order is:  Violet, Blue, Green, Warm White, Yellow (Frodo), WW, Gr, Bl, Vio.

For the Movie Multiball inserts I used Bright White, Yellow (matches Frodo in the Center) and Blue.  The bright white matches the LEDs in the "Rings of Elves" below it.  Not sure if I will keep these, as they flash strangely during DTR.

Update: I have taken out the 9 fellowship LEDs and put back in #555 bulbs.  This was because of the way the inserts strobe when the Fellowship Multiball has qualified and also at DTR.  I may be very sensitive to this, but for me it is too distracting.

I have only kept Bright White LEDs for all the square MB inserts and the LEDs I had already installed.  Only controlled LEDs are:  Color changing LEDs in the Start Mode and Palantir and some Flashers.
