Title: MTC 9000 problems (I know, classic thread:))
Post by: AE35 on November 27, 2008, 04:47:59 pm
Hey all!

My Hanty 250 PS went out leaving my MTC 9000 unpowered :)

If I could get away with using the Hanty PS again, I would be happy. So, I'm thinking:
The monitor has 220V for degauss and 128V for the picture(as seen in an earlier
grantspain post)

I have a stepdown converter right here, so how about I just give that baby 110V?
(and...what of the four pins on the chassis are degauss and chassis-power?)

Thanks!!

(Grantspain, I'll have the answer to the Daytona PCB soon!! sorry for being late)

your hantarex psu should still supply the ac voltages for the monitor,you could just install a standard switch mode for the game board dc voltages

if you decide to take a look at your psu then be aware these babies hold a big charge on the caps and pack a real punch---be careful

don't worry about the daytona boards as i have now got a replacement

you could use a 110v transformer if you want,use the 110v output for the 128vac chassis input and then just attach the degauss to the input of the transformer

Thanks!

The PSU is dead, no light in the diode or anything. I've decided against original
PCB and have gone the emu way. And I like Chase HQ better than SCI anyway.

Ok, I'll try the stepdown...and hope that the 110V is enough.

Thanks!

we used 120v transformer back in olden times when i built cabs and it worked fine-110v should do the trick

Cool, thanks!

I've looked at the schematic, and I think that the two to the right at the cc mark
would be 128v, and 220v to the left on this picture, yes?:

i do not remember tbh but if you use the schematics and a multimeter you will find pin 1 meters to fuse 1 so therefore pins 1 and 2 are for 128vac----3 and 4   230v ac
