Centipede Power- I'm sorry, I'm sure this has be asked a million times.
I've got a centipede cabinet that worked fine until last fall. I went to power it up and she's dead.
Coin doors light up, power led on main board lights up, but no sound or anything on the monitor.
I checked voltages and things just don't check out right. On the AR board, AC side where I should be getting 36vac, I get 17. Some of the other voltages are PRETTY close, others are way off on the AR and the main board.
I took the ar board out and inspected, reflowed all the solder joints, and found nothing else obviously wrong. I didn't get the multimeter out to mess with individual components.
I pulled the brick out of the bottom. The bridge seems to be functioning. Nothing seems burnt and all the fuses check ok.
What's the next step?
Do I just order a ARII rebuild kit, rectifier and big blue? (if so, where from these days?) I don't want to just throw parts at the issue and hope it fixes it. It seems from what I've seen that this should cure it?
What do you experts think?
Thanks!
