Hey All,
I have begun getting resets and occasionally lockups on my Star Wars. But in general, I think the game is very sound. I believe I have the problem tracked down to a cantankerous filter board with some connectors that are getting weak. My options are to remove the filter board, or look for a replacement. What would you do. I don't think anyone makes a reproduction, so its either another worn out one or nothing at all.
Heres whats been done to the game so far.
1. Rebuilt power Brick
2. Rebuilt AR-II (with sense mod)
3. Replaced the Edge connectors just this last week
4. Rebuilt the Ampliphone 25" with repro flyback and caps, and xisters....
Before I replaced the edge connector, I was getting exactly 5.1 DC out of the AR-II. Now its a little low. But I am pretty sure, the connector was causing some of my resets as well. Now, when I press on the filter board, the game will reset as well. So it may have been my problem all along. I may have to adjust the voltage up just slightly, but I would have figured the new edge connector would have let more voltage through instead of less. Any words of wisdom from the techies out there.
