So I've decided to sit down and repair my battle zone cabaret that's just sitting here collecting dust. I'm wrist deep into the schematic but I've kind of hit a wall. Everything on the game turns on and plays fine, except for the monitor. There is no neck glow. I know the monitor works and is fine it's just not getting the right voltage. Sound works, control panel marquee works but the coin door does NOT light up, and I have a red zone board inside. It worked for quite a while before I discovered it playing blind one day.
I've got the power brick out and I've tested all of the fuses as working, however I'm getting some odd voltage readings on the J5 connector compared to what the schematic says they should be…
-Pins 1-3 are 13.01VDC not 10.6vdc
-Pins 6 & 7 are both 17.8vac not 36vac
-Pins 8 & 9 are both dead at 0vac not 6.1vac
-Pins 10,12,13,15 are 29.7vac not 60vac
-Pins 11 & 14 are also dead at 0vac not 60vac
Is this a blown transformer at T1? What else should I be looking at next?
