Dodgy wiring and ball smashing fun

Last night all my solenoids stopped working. I checked all the fuses and everything seemed in order, then after panicing for a bit I checked the fuses again today and noticed that I’d missed one!
An obscure little one in the corner call F112 Solenoid Secondary with a bizarre 7Amp rating. It’s the only 7A fuse in the system and I didn’t have a replacement handy. I’ve ordered a set of 5 from pinball heaven, but I wanted to test everything just to make sure, so I did a bit of dodgy wiring
