Gottlieb System 1 takes 30-50 seconds to boot - Sinbad
I recently picked up my second pinball machine and went though all? of the proper testing before plugging in my Gottlieb System 1 Sinbad machine. The power supply -12V only measured at -7V, so I put in a Rottendog instead of repairing. After I turned it on I thought there were still problems because it did not boot after 5 seconds like it should, but after 30 seconds it booted and played perfectly. If I turn it off, then turn it on right away, it boots up in 5 seconds, I I wait 20 minutes, it then takes between 30-50 seconds for it to boot, but works great after that.
I heard a lot about bad connector pins, and I just finished replacing every molex pin in the upper cabinet. Still long boot times. I tried searching for this particular issue but found no others.
Thanks
