Ok I knew this would happen but not this quick. I purchased a TX-Sector from a good friend for 200 bucks. I currently own a Mario Andretti and love it, but back to the TX-Sector. I was told it would not boot. When I powered it on the GI lights come on and the translite comes on, BUT I can smell a electric burning, so I immediately turned it off and unplugged it. My tech guru will come out on thursday to look at it, he says if the System 80b board is not booting then a coil could be stuck energizing and getting hot which in turn would cause the smell of burning. What do you all think? I know I will not power it on again until it is checked out by a professional. But I noticed the system 80b CPU LED was flashing fast when it was powered on. Could it be a simple thing as a fuse or we looking at a CPU eprom issue possibly.
Also there is a battery holder installed and no acid damage to see anywhere. I am hopeing it is an easy fix to it to get it back running again and not to smell like burning electronics. The cabinet is a 9 out of 10 and playfield is a 10 out of 10. it was made in 1988. Any tips on what we I can tell the tech guy to look for would be helpful. I can't wait to get this pin fired and up and playing again. Pictures will come shortly.
