Hi,
I have a nice looking 83 upright that has been in my closet for 10 years since the day it stopped working. I pulled it out last month to try to get it working again so that I can sell it and let someone who will actually enjoy it have it.
I don't have a lot of repair or electronics experience but I'm reading a lot and learning.
At first the monitor was out with the spot killer on constant, no picture at all. (WG6100) I replaced the 6 chassis transistors and had some improvement - the picture "flashes" on and off with the spot killer blinking about once a second. The game can start and play, with sounds and flashes of the picture, but it seems to run in slow motion.
Interestingly, the self-test mode displays perfectly fine. No flashing, no spot killer. The self-test runs from the game PCB's so that's a bit confusing to me. No self-test errors reported either.
There's one LED on the main game board that's lit, but I can't find anything about that in any of the manuals. Still, it sounds like the game PCB's thats the problem, if the self-test works fine, right?
Really I just want this fixed. I can't find anyone local that repairs these things, and was wondering if anyone had any advice.
Thanks!
