Since he has SB listed then NB and FB maybe the same, but again I don't know.

I don't know for sure but I've never seen a 32 volt fuse listed in any manual. When I see one in a game I replace them with what's listed. Some blow fast(AGC) and others blow slow(MDL). That is as important as the Amperage. I don't know what NB might be. Old timers who worked on...

I agree with all the advice you have been given, I'd have to say because all your coils are effected, I would look at your line voltage, if it was low it could cause many problems. Also most people overlook how well the coil assembly is mounted to the playfield, loose screws can will dampen the...

It looks like you have a bunch of old bank reset coils and old flipper coils. I carry a lot of coils and if I need a 23/800 and I'm out. I remove 150 revolutions from a 23/950 as long as the physical size is the same.

Your diode is for the lane change switch on that flipper, it won't do the damage that a missing coil diode would if you played the game. I assume you are referring to the pop bumper lamp, some connect to the GI lighting circuit, some are connected to mpu controlled lighting, check the lamp...

I'm glad you got one working.

I recommend cutting all the pins off with a good/small pair of side cutters and pulling each one out with the tip of your soldering iron then removing the solder from the holes. I find myself doing much less damage this way.

I have gotten in the habit of carrying all the parts to rebuild the high voltage circuit twice, I cannot tell you how many times I have taken a service call and after rebuilding the high voltage something fails. Sometimes it's just one part and other times it takes others out with it. There are...

Do you know if it was available is a kit?

That is not the original power supply. The original would have used the lower voltages coming from that transformer. Someone put a switching power supply in its place. If it is a Smash TV cabinet then the manual should have the information you need.

First thing you need to consider is you are working on a 35 year old game that was built to last for at least 7 years. If you don't like this hobby then you really do not want to try doing it for a living like I have for the last 38 years. You might try one of my hobbies, beating your head...

It looks to me like you have no power plugged into your power supply in IMG_6510 that molex 3 pin connector should be plugged into the 3 pin connector in IMG_6514 or any closer 3 pin with 110ac and ground.

No, we are talking both about the female connectors. Rodger Kilgore

It took a while to repair the damage.

Yes, but the games we repair have been around longer than 15 years. I have seen Trifurcons fail, but only because the person who installed them was to lazy to replace the damaged pins on the board I think he tryed tinning them with his soldering iron. It only accelerated the damage, when I was...
