    Opto switch alternatives/mods?

    Also any local electronic store will carry Infarred LED receivers. If you have a good electronics shop close by it may be a quicker trip.

    Opto switch alternatives/mods?

    Sounds like intermittent operation to me. I would replace both emitter and receiver to be sure. I had the same issue. It would work for 2 weeks, then stop for no reason.

    Last getaway question regarding the supercharger

    Damn coil! I pulled the entire supercharge supercharger last night. I checked the resitance on the coil lugs outside of the game. High power was at about 6 ohms. Low power - nothing!. I'm thinking great, just a case of redoing the solder on the lugs. Pulled a winding, sanded it soldered...

    Last getaway question regarding the supercharger

    Re: Supercharger problem almost solved No one told me this diverter is like a flipper coil! I didn't realize there was a Hi and a Lo attached to the supercharger diverter. That is why it is not working. High kicks in just fine, but I don't think Low is working. Could be a transistor...

    Opto switch alternatives/mods?

    I've had the LED break a wire between the LED and the solder pad, which you will never ever see. I had to wiggle the LED to discover it was completely disconeected. I imagine this happens over time with the vibrations of the machine. This leads to intermittent operation. I have 2 of the exact...

    Gottlieb system 80B 5v power supply! NEED MORE HELP!

    My current guess is ground mods to be done. Had everything up and running on a bench test. 12 volts in, 5.1 volts out. No problems. I'm thinking maybe ground mods, because I don't believe it is the boards fault.

    Gottlieb system 80B 5v power supply! NEED MORE HELP!

    Swiped an old desktop computer power supply from work. Now I have a +12V and +5V power supply for bench testing WOO HOO! We'll get this power board working one way or another.

    Gottlieb system 80B 5v power supply! NEED MORE HELP!

    I appreciate it. Thanks Manace. I agree seems weird. Seems like maybe symptoms of some kind of solder crack. I'm thinking, but I did meter everything. I was thinking of just jumpering the whole board to make sure, but that makes a mess.

    Gottlieb system 80B 5v power supply! NEED MORE HELP!

    Re: Gottlieb system 80B 5v power supply. No Dice! Replaced the Voltage regulator LM 338K. Also replaced the pot. Then I reflowed the solder at the connectors. Then just to make sure, I checked for continuity everwhere with the DMD. Here is what happened: I screwed the board back in...

    Gottlieb system 80B 5v power supply! NEED MORE HELP!

    Can anyone tell me what components I need to swap on a Gottliebs Arean power supply to get it running again. Games turns on GIs, but not CPU, Sound or Display. Metered power supply board. 12-13v going in, only 0.4 to 0.8v going out. Nowhere near 5v. Seems simple, just wanna know what...

    $15 Getaway LED toppers Flasher w/ video and pictures!

    Re: Getaway LED toppers tie in 12VDC? So I hooked this up and tied directly into the 17VAC that the old motor worked off of and everything seems to work fine. I even let it flash for an hour and nothing appeared to heat up. I know this isn't the right way to do it, but it seems to work fine...

    $15 Getaway LED toppers Flasher w/ video and pictures!

    I'm working on a friends machine and he does not have the ceiling height in his basement to support a big red revolving dome on the top of his getaway. I already told him to get a bigger basement, but short of that, I'm replacing the big Dome with some small low profile LED flashers in blue and...
