Great news! After going over everything and clean and clean I started testing voltage. Right off the bat I found the switch was bad. I replaced it and the transformer starter to hum. I put a jumper wire around the J1 missing component and the whole dart board sprung to life. The only thing left is to find a working target board. I will post a picture of the manufacturer. If anybody knows where to get one of these or how to fix it I would appreciate it. Thanks again Mark. |

That's the tough part with these older dart games, and can be somewhat hard to find. What you need is a replacement matrix; that's what senses the darts as they hit the board. It's a network of membrane switches that is able to detect where the hit is without a large number of electrical connections to the ECU. I have a similar problem with my Arachnid 6000. Mine doesn't sense hits to the number one spot. At least I can play Cricket, so it's perfectly usable until I do find a replacement. When one does pop up, they typically go for around $100 though. I always seem to be broke when one does! The company seems to still be in business, you might want to try and contact them: http://www.memtron.in You could also try creating an automated search on eBay to notify you if one becomes available. Good luck! |

The company (I.D.E.A. ) that made Century Dartes has been bought and sold several times over the years. The company progression is this: IDEA -> Valley (the pool table company) -> Shelti Over 30 years ago, we had maybe 4 of the Century Darts machines on the route. I remember schematics did come with the machines. The power supply was definitely the weakest part of the machine. |
