Hi everyone, here with an Asteroid Deluxe cab I scored DELIVERED $75:) I collect old pinballs, history of working on them, I suck at power supplies though, hence my question. Game not currently powering on, flip toggle switch nada, pics attached Have NOT checked fuses yet, BUT most suspicious thing is 2 wire leads disconnected from toggle power switch (see pic), do they need re-attaching? See anything needs addressing? For power on does the white 'slam switch' need to be pulled out or in? And also switch on coin door, coin door needs to be closed? Thanks SO much for any help everybody Lee in NC |

Attached is a photo of the switch with the cover off. So yes you need to get those reattached. When you have all doors off and coin door open, you pull the switch outward to pass power. Before applying any power, I would disconnected edge connector from pcb and also the molex connector that is by the monitor. There are labeled test points on the power supply, you want to verify all is correct and set 5v to about 5.20v (without pcb connected). Even if you get life out of it, I wouldn't trust it for longer than 10min untill you replace ALL the caps on power supply (doesn't hurt to do voltage regs as well), big blue cap on power brick and all caps in the monitor. good day. |

Thank you Chopper, just what I needed BUT, the more I research, the more I realize how much work it will be to get this thing stable/dependable, SERIOUSLY considering running a Raspberry Pie conversion in there, pull out the vector monitor, lay a monitor flat and make a killer retro MAME machine, hopefully without rendering it un-restorable, I dont want to destroy the history. I can store the monitor in the cab, or even leave it in place, the only thing is the control panel, need to drill for a joy & buttons, BUT perhaps I can make my own panel, wood, OR, anybody know of something that wpuld fit the cab? |
