Well, may have pulled a dumb move, but I think the problem is unrelated to me putting a Popeye board in the machine. My idea was to use a Popeye board in a DK Jr. cocktail table. I bought a working board from Slots, installed it tonight.
The board worked fine, coined up and played a game. The game was on for 20 minutes or so... then I turned it off and installed Popeye art work.....
Turned the game back on, Popeye title screen, then blank, sound continued.
Monitor appears dead, checked the B+ voltage and I get 140v (crap), run the POT to both extremes and no change..... Will check power diodes tomorrow, then I'm out of ideas!
What next on the 20EZ? (No neck glow, I assume I'm in HV shutdown with 140v on the B+)
As far as the Popeye, I assumed the boards were the same as the DK series, the cocktail uses the edge connector. After this happened I double checked power, there are some differences in that DK Jr. uses 12v. Is it safe to use these boards in a Jr. cocktail? I played a game, I would assume if something was wrong it would not have booted, coined up, or played.
Damn monitor, B+ way up should have no association with a game PCB I would assume.
HELP!!

Looks like a few voltages Popeye doesn't need on pins Popeye doesn't call out as used.
