I'm thinking of going out and buying a digital volt meter. This analog one is ok but I'm thinking I would do myself good if I get one that is newer. I will do this and re post my readings.
bluemanop:
Well I researched a little bit in regards to a new multi meter. I purchased a new digital meter that will measure, capacitance, resistance, diodes, transistors and of course AC/DC voltages. I suspect it will be here by Monday via UPS.
This should allow me to work a little closer with the schematics for the power supply board and test a little more accurately. I will let you know what I find in the next week of testing.
RayB:
You sure this game is worth all this? ;-)
bluemanop:
Yes. I believe that solving the problems with this machine will make repair on most other machine seem simpler. This is a non-jamma machine with some pretty proprietary parts which will force me to tool my bean more towards fixing the failed electronics. I would love to preserve a little bit of history, no matter how crappy the machine ;D , they get more rare every day.
Well I got my new multi meter in today. I am going to start metering parts across the power supply (with it unplugged), with the schematic & parts list and see what I may find.
Rocky:
It is definitely worth it.
