This was my first pin to work on, and man o man, did I learn a lot (still need to learn more, don't get me wrong) - but my first Flipper rebuild, my first Pop Bumper skirt & light fixture replacement (whew!) ...and the always gone bad "Power Supply Rebuild", oh and of course changing transistors on the MPU board (all of which were and still out of my league, but I found friends to help!)

I still cant do the board repairs, but this little machine helped me learn so much! (me and a co-worker).

Ken Layton (think I spelled that correctly) was a big help to me. Part numbers, even understanding the use of the DMM (I'm still a newbie).

I'll look for my past posts, schematics and what ever else I can find if that helps (again, not much help on the technical side as I'm still learning, but the people on this site have been so helpful and friendly to me, I have to pay it forward.

Good luck on the game...and someone needs to warn you upfront - this is an addictive hobby (habit?)

Not sure if this will work, but this was where I started on mine...similar issues

So glad Ken responded, he's the man on these games. He helped me get mine working, parts numbers, what to look for, etc. If I ever get back to the beautiful state of Washington again, I owe that man a beer! (Or diet coke) Download, print the manuals and schematics if you can. Even if for now, you don't understand them. You'll get tips, then check those documents, and after a while it will start making sense. (Hopefully!) Good Luck!
