Bought some BR's a while back and cant remember what they are for. I was hoping someone here would know.

Looks like the number on them is KBPC3506W. I think I bought these for a newer Stern. The question is will these work in a WPC Fish Tales?

Not big on board repair. Have done a few transistors in the past. Looks like these BR's in the FT are the factory ones and I would like to try this repair before calling in the hired guns.

The other question would be IF KBPC3506W's are ok, are they OK for BR1 and BR2? Or are they different numbers?

Any info appreciated.

John, Thanks. Lloyd had alerted me to do that as well. I checked lots of things, ended up pulling the board. Looked it over and the previous owner has done the deal where the cap and BR2 are tied together with 2 pieces of wire on the back of the board. This is a standard thing? I dunno. Anyway, I just added a slight amount of solder to those wires as it was just a little thin and reinstalled. So far it is not resetting. Doubt "I" fixed anything, but maybe unplugging an reseating all the stuff on the driver board and the connectors down by the transformer (per pin-wiki) may have done the trick.

Now I am going to have to figure out why the sound is hanging on it. It will start the game with the sound and then hang as it gets going. It will even reset the sound at the end of a ball and then hang again. Not sure where to go on this one either. New ribbon cables?
