You got a perfectly original restoration candidate here, why don't you use it to improve your technology skills? There's plenty of info online and people here tend to be quite helpful when you don't destroy a classic :timebomb: |

I Do NOT know how to check voltages on a multimeter, so any detailed tutorials also a plus ANY help greatly appreciated! Lee --- End quote --- LOL:) Not a dick, yeah cant explain , dont get me wrong I can do a simple fuse check with a multimeter, but the higher science kinda psychs me out, I tend to replace burnt coils instead of looking for underlying problems, PCBs I just ship off for work (so far), have a great eye for switches and the mechanical, but yeah I need to get over my phobia and dive in, I agree with mourix, this is a good opportunity to learn Not to be a dick here but you work on pinball machines and don't know how to check voltages with a multimeter? --- End quote --- |

I installed mine last week and have been in arcade heaven ever since. --- End quote --- will do, thank you, dear god how I LOVE Lunar Lander |

You can replace a burnt coil over and over and over again if you don't replace the driver transistor that's burning it. That's sort of the point. And since most failures are the result of either too much or too little current for various reasons knowing how to use a DMM is non negotiable in this hobby. Especially in pinball. I'm not saying you have to be able to hack an ATM with the thing but you do need to know how to read AC and DC voltages and verify components. There is no way around it. |
