"just landed"
Hadn't noticed that!
Typing faster than my callused thumbs allow.

From what I have stumbled onto for info it seems that even if regular wear/aging on a power supply wasn't enough already that a lot of machines have issue with the load of 70+ incandescent bulbs even when the system is new.
So a swap to leds is probably in my future.

I suppose it is most useful to begin at the output of the transformer and head in until I find failure.

The race is on to see which machine I can get up and running first at this point.

pbj:
What’s the other machine?

 :pics

bobbyb13:
I was dumbfounded at the other one to appear.

Started a new thread for that one!

lilshawn:
wow, i saw the firs pic and i was like, "ouch, that's a little rough! not bad if it was cheap for a first try at pinball "

then i saw the 2nd pic... "oooooooOOOOOOOOOOHH YIKES!"

not impossible to do... but yes, you have your work cut out, that's for sure

bobbyb13:
Yeah, as prophesized by pbj, it's going to cost me some $$.

I took a shot at some repair work but I do not get good power out of the supply board to begin with.
There are a few spots that got 'warm' on that thing so that will must get replaced.
Same goes for the main board too I think at this point.

I'll just need to chip away at it as I learn more until it's working.
