If we really want to put together a fundraing tournament, why don't we work on one to support me in the Ride to Conquer Cancer for 2016? (I missed the 2015 cut-off) This way we have lots of time to figure out the format as well as give us many options on dates and locations to host? Thoughts? D

Here's a question... do you guys prefer to see the whole cabinet painted inside with the bottom and all or do you prefer the original look with the unpainted bottom with overspray? D

Damn, I'd make an offer but I wouldn't want to ship all that stuff from you to GTA... I could use a lot of those parts. Any chance you could get this stuff to MTL? D

That's a cool idea! D

http://bit.ly/1zQpxLK For the 4th year in a row I will be riding 75kms in the Becel Ride for Heart & Stroke! I have once again committed to being a VIP rider by raising at least $1,000. With all of the amazing support that I received from so many members last year, I'm hoping that we can all...

SchaaaaWING! D

I think I just wet my pants... I will be shocked if this thing doesn't sell within' the first hour @ A-town. Ace Ventura said it best. B E A UTIFUL! D

Great game. I'm currently doing a PF swap on one for a friend, and one day I'll get to mine eventually... someday. lol Good luck with the search. D

But the manual claims the other wire is brown-blue, but yours is yellow-blue. :) The good thing is you cna always tell which wire is the high-poewr for coils as it's usually the larger AWG. D

I guess that's pinball baby! D

Sometimes diodes do fail open, but they more than normal fail short in which case would destroy the FET anyway. D

They are still available NIB. D

Just for reference, don't bother replacing Q6 with the STP20N10. (for reasons I'm not going to get into here) Just use the recommended IRL540N replacement, as this is a much more robust part. D

Yeah, that is likely the case... D

The ones used in Stern games are MosFET = Metal-oxide-semiconductor Feild Effect Transistor. It's basically a transistor that can be driven at logic level, whereas a TIP102 is a darlington NPN transistor and requires more to drive it, which is why you have the pre-drive 2n5401 transistors on...

For those wondering, tihs is my machine. It was originally intended for a client that flaked, so it's now up for sale. Obviously the price listed on Kijiji has some wiggle room in it, so anyone interested shoot me a PM and we can discuss. D

As stated, the reason the magnet is locking on is because the MosFET is toast and needs to be replaced. I am going to assume the diode is installed correctly but only because the band is facing the larger AWG wire (which should be the high power feed) as the wire colours used in your game do...

The coil seems to be ok, and the diode likely is too now that you replaced it. The diode is there to protect the MosFET from destroying itself after it turns off power to any coil. If the diode was in fact bad, it would have killed the driving FET, which is apparent now that you are blowing...

If the diode went bad, it would have killed the FET when it was triggered, so if all you did was replace the diode you only fixed half of the problem. Pull the driver and replace the magnet FET as well, and then check the magnet diode again just in case before re-installing the repaired driver...
