The board in my machine was operating fine, than it began to blow fuses. Using a multimeter, I can see that a few of the parts are not getting continuity. Here are a few pics. If anyone has a replacement board and power supply for these units let me know.

no one has ever seen this board.. anyone know of any conversion kits for old Greyhounds?

Honestly that version is so old now spares are hard to find.

Are you sure it is the board? I would check the claw coil to see if it burnt up and check the motors (and motor caps if present). Normally I have found one of them to be the issue when the fuse pops on the PCB on these old cranes.

There is a kit out there for the old cranes made by Two Bit Score that comes with a new board and wiring harness but it's about $200.00 so you may be better off buying another complete old crane.
 
I personally hadn't seen a Grayhound board quite like that, but there doesn't seem to be much on it component wise that couldn't be checked easily. It's obviously a relay board, so what a few diodes and the the relays themselves? Like mentioned it could be something connected TO that board and not the board itself. (unless you've done further testing to prove otherwise)

One of those diodes are most likely shorted. I may have another relay pcb just like that one but I'll check tonight.

We have a complete working Greyhound crane that uses 2 buttons. Unfortunately I have to sell the whole machine. $ 150.00 takes it. ( Unless you wanted to pay $ 150.00 for a relay pcb and I'll trash the rest. ).
 
Check for shorted diodes. You may need to unplug the relays or lift one leg of the diodes to fully check.

If that's not it then there isn't much anything else that can be bad other than shorted wires or motors.

Have you checked to see if the carriage can freely move? Maybe a motor is binding?

That's from a Grayhound crane ? Looks to me like a pre-Big Choice Elaut
crane board.

Blown fuses on those boards can be anything from shorted diode
to shorted claw coil.

you can get these relays at cablesandconnectors.com

i completely rebuilt one of these boards with parts that were in stock at this store.
