Mario Bros in Red !

Major set-back...this evening, when my son and I went for our regular game or two the game suddenly died completely, at least the screen gave a whit picture.

I checked, and it looks like the PSU is dead. No voltages at all, so I guess I am now forced to try and open it up.....any good tips ??

Level42:
Weird. After trying "one last time" after an hour or two, the MB worked fine again !

Does the Nintendo PSU have some overload protection that restores after some time ? I know there are "automatic" fuses that work like that but I wonder if they were already in use then ?

I'm thinking that maybe my audio amp. is overloading it a bit, will measure the current it draws to see about that.

Steve at pinballresource has new Nintendo style coin door/mechs for $10 on special.  Only token mechs but they can be tweaked.  I use tokens on my machines but after repainting the face plates I honestly couldn't justify even $20+ shipping for brand new ones.

This has been cool to read. 

I picked up a nice mario bros a while back that I've been working on turning back into a dk.  Interesting how different that one looks.

Level42:
The CPO is in ! Pics soon !
