If the machine is on Free Play, then the fuse may be blowing because you 
are making selections too fast. Allow about two seconds between 
selections so the fuse can cool down.

Otherwise see if any selection combination is the problem - for example 
- if and single number or letter combination casues the fuse to blow 
then the corresponding coil may be shorted...
