Helping a friend with his Allied Leisure "Circa 1933" which is the same as Take Five and The Entertainer.
- At power-on, the lower right kicker/slingshot locks-on.
- The board was rebuilt about a year ago by John's Jukes.
- It does not lock-on if the CPU board is removed.
- I have replaced the diode at the coil.
- The CPU board is system/generation 2 (PCB50250125H)
1) Is replacement of the driving transistor the proper action? If so, how can I determine which Q# to replace? And what associated components should also get replaced? What parts/specs should I order?
2) Can someone walk me through the grounding of connector pins or Q tabs in order to help ID the Q that is suspect?
I was hoping that one of the coil lug wires would simply lead back to 1 pin inside 1 of the red, white or green CPU plugs. But I was surprised to have continuity from each lug back to many pins inside each of the CPU plugs.
3) Anyone have a schematic that can help? I know John's Jukes sells them, but not sure $40 is worth it for me.
I've succesfully replaced transistors on WPC before but I relied upon guidance from the widely available online troubleshooting guides. The ALI guides I've found (Johns Jukes, pinwiki) while helpful, lack the needed detail for my skill level.
Thanks!
