I recently got an AG Soccer so joined the club. I posted a technical question in the thread in this space but read the posts above and made a new post in the technical section. Are there any groups or dedicated resources to troubleshoot Alvin G games? Maybe that can be pinned at the start of the thread. Cheers

I read that there were 500 Alvin G Soccer produced. Here is the serial number tag from mine. I think it is # 502. The playfield is #57 though produced in 92 which is odd. It has a PCA-019A power supply in it. There are some capacitors on it that are not called out in the schematics on IPDB. The schematics for Punchy the Clown are more accurate to what I have. The main board PCA-009 is from 92 and is serial number 10635. I noticed that the CAD drawings from Punchy in 93 were of a different quality than earlier - like they changed CAD software.

Also in troubleshooting the power supply, I only get 15.5VDC measuring with a multimeter from the "20VDC" circuit (with nothing connected downstream). Is it supposed to be 20VDC or ~15.5?

Quoted from MattElder:

Please start a tech thread. This intent of this thread is to celebrate the company and its games, not troubleshoot problems. Thanks.

I copy that. I posted another topic two weeks ago and got no response. I thought it was notable having #502 of 500 produced and learn some history of the boards made. Cheers.
