Been having a weird reset issue (Flintstones) and even with a new Driver Board still having random resets. Checked the Line Voltage and Getting 113V at the end of the cord. Thinking this might be too low?

My 12V seems to flucuate between 11.5 and 12V on the Driver Board Test point and thinking this may be the issue but not sure.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks for the insight. A a side note, this game is an import and was converted back to US at some point. There is even a funky little extra transformer inside and I'm trying to figure out what it's for. So there is "service outlet" of sorts in this thing.

House Voltage is 120, I just also realized that I was running an Electric Heater I think. It's 120 in my shop and drops to 113 with the heater on. Yikes!

Also, I've tried installed one of the KAHR daughterboards, and the game refuses to boot with one in, but will boot fine without out. Not sure what to make of that!
